The Military Police at Fort Leavenworth have a storied history dating back to the post’s establishment in the early 19th century. Tasked with maintaining law, order, and discipline, the unit has played a key role in supporting the U.S. Army’s operations and the unique mission of Fort Leavenworth, home to the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. Over the years, the Military Police have provided security, force protection, and corrections support, including managing the United States Disciplinary Barracks. Today, they continue to uphold their tradition of excellence, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of one of the Army’s most vital installations.

The 230th Military Police Company (230th MP Co) is a unit in the United States Army Reserve, historically headquartered in Trenton, New Jersey. The company has supported a variety of federal and state missions, providing law enforcement, area security, and detainee operations both domestically and overseas. The 230th MP Co has deployed in support of operations such as Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, where its soldiers conducted convoy security, base defense, and police mentoring. The unit also plays a vital role in homeland defense and disaster response, collaborating with local authorities during emergencies and civil disturbances.
