MOD Police and Guards

The MOD Police Agency was expanded on 1st April 2004 to include the MOD Guard Service. Renamed the MDPGA, the Agency incorporates two professional security services within the Ministry of Defence.

We supply policing and guarding services to the whole of the Defence Community, both Military and Civilian. We also support the Defence Vision (A Force for Good in the World) by contributing to international policing in countries such as Kosovo and Iraq.

Our primary role is to counter the following main crime and security risks:

  • Terrorist attack and the threat of such attacks
  • Disruption and disorder caused by protestors
  • Theft of key assets
  • Major financial fraud
