The Ministry of Defence Police and Guarding Agency (MDPGA) incorporates two professional security organisations within the Ministry of Defence - The Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) and the Ministry of Defence Guard Service (MGS).

Each organisation has its own identity and management structure but, together as an Agency, they strengthen the service supplied to MoD establishments.

The MDP is a statutory civilian police force. Every officer holds constabulary powers and is trained in the use of firearms. The MGS provide MoD establishments with an unarmed guarding service, dealing with access and pass control, vehicle and personnel searching, security patrols of buildings, and other specialist duties.
