From the shipyards of Scotland to the airfields of England, the MDP's presence is felt across the country. Their role is not one of glamour, but one of quiet professionalism and unwavering dedication. This is the story of the Ministry of Defence Police, the guardians at the gate, ensuring the UK's defences remain strong and unwavering.
