military policeman
Uniformed base patrol
A military policeman is a member of a branch of the armed forces responsible for law enforcement within military installations and among military personnel.
Military police handle duties similar to civilian police—patrolling, investigating crimes, controlling traffic, detaining suspects—but within military jurisdiction.
The military policeman checked IDs at the base gate.
