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 detailed overview of the RMPO was provided by Colonel Pat Lowrey in a briefing for 2008 Reunion attendees. The briefing is entitled “Bridging Generations, The Retired Military Police Officers (RMPO)" and it may be seen by clicking here.
