The Retired Military Police Officers. The Retired Military Police Officers (RMPO) is an informal group of retired military police officers, warrant officers, and their spouses. The RMPO maintains a roster, publishes a periodic newsletter, and has an annual reunion. There are no dues, elected officers, or bylaws. Operating costs are covered solely by individual donations.
Comprehensive Overview of the RMPO. A comprehensive overview of the RMPO was provided by Colonel (Retired ) Pat Lowrey in an interview for the MPRA Quarterly The Dragoon, the official magazine of the Military Police Regimental Association. The interview, entitled "Silhouettes of Service - The Retired Military Police Officers (RMPO) Community," may be seen by clicking here.
