Close Protection

I removed the following:

"Until recently they used HK53 assault rifles but now are mostly seen with C8-CQBs^{[citation needed]}. They also carry Browning Hi-Power^{[citation needed]} or P229^{[citation needed]} pistols as well as other police equipment such as, extendable batons and PlastiCuffs".

This had remained unreferenced for over a year with no appropriate action.

November 2010 Cleanup

I have just completed a Phase 1 copy edit and restructure per WP:MOS I have yet to run the the Article through WP:AWB for error checking and fixes but will do so shortly. The History section is still too long, if anyone can constructively condense it, that would be helpful. Phase 2 copy will follow when I have more time. Pol430 (talk) 14:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It might be an idea to move the history section to a separate article, retaining only a summary on this article. The present history section is disproportionately large. The present size of the overall article is too large. I would be interested to hear the fellings of others, please discuss below. Pol430 (talk) 19:26, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

February 2011

I have removed the text that claims RMP are attested as special constables on the Falklands Islands because this source seems to indicate that this practice ceased when the Falklands Islands Police Force was established; however, RMP do still have powers over civilians subject to service discipline per the Armed Forces Act 2006 and this has been reflected in the the relevant body text.

Your taking an airsoft site as a source of information? look mate I would quit whilst your ahead, your making a right pig ears of thisPandaplodder (talk) 00:22, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there's something I've missed (and even if I have), that came across as unnecessarily uncivil. He is free to challenge and remove an unsourced statement; that he also gave an explanation for why he removed it is a bonus and should not be attacked. ninety:one 01:57, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No doubt your a user of practical airsoft? How come in the space of three years this has gone from a GA nomination to something that's been decimated. In the case of this pratical article if you don't have any real life experience then please leave alone Pandaplodder (talk) 18:10, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not a user of "practical airsoft"?! Pol430 did a good job of adding references, there is no need to criticise him. And it is not a pre-requisite of editing a Wikipedia article that you must have "real life experience". I think that is enough now, I don't want to have an argument here. ninety:one 23:44, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

April 2011

Removed the unsourced tag after several reflinks have been added, this article has more reflinks than most wiki articles that don't have as many reflinks Pandaplodder (talk) 13:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC) As far as I know AGC/RMP(same corps) recruits do not do phase one training at Pirbright but at Winchester. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.10.51.2 (talk) 05:56, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Part of Adjutant General's Corps

This article did not acknowledge the fact the RMP became part of the Adjutant General's Corps in 1992. I have added two paragraphs (summary in introductory section, more detailed under History section, mainly lifted from the other article History of the Royal Military Police) and would suggest corresponding details that are due be added to the Infobox.Cloptonson (talk) 21:58, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

firearms use

Is there an armed component to the RMP, like Authorised Firearms Officers in the Met or are they a strictly unarmed force? 98.10.179.163 (talk) 00:26, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
