What/Who are Service Police

[naetype]

Saw this on a white van with blue lights on top the other day in front of me leaving Glasgow airport stickered up with 'Service Police'.

I'm sure it was:

not normal police
not transport police
not MOD police (living 2 miles from Faslane I used to see these guys a lot).

A rather different uniform where the crown was in red.

Anyone shed some light on who they are/were?

They are mod police. Living near Faslane you would have seen the shore patrol van picking up pissed sailors.

I am so glad that we are living in a plice state!

"Service Police
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Service Police are the military police of the British Armed Forces, comprising

Royal Navy Regulating Branch
Royal Marines Police
Royal Military Police
Royal Air Force Police "

Military police are completely different from Ministry of Defence police. The former are servicemen/women, the latter are civilians.

A tad out of date. The Royal Navy Regulating Branch was renamed the Royal Navy Police on 28 June 2007 by Statutory Instrument 2007 No. 1861 - The Armed Forces (Service Police Amendments) Order 2007 - Streaky

That's the second post I've seen this chap post with a binned image.

Anyway, I like her camera, very 'Borg'. "Resistance is futile..."
