<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Depends, some places the MPs have concurrent jurisdiction with local and state police over the areas near the base. I know at Bragg the MPs can and do conduct Law Enforcement on a highway that runs through the base. They would in that case have jurisdiction over civilians mirroring state law, would they find someone with a warrant or something like that they would detain them and transfer them over to the local civilian authorities. Same goes with arrest power.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Generally MP&#39;s have no jurisdiction off base. There may be cases where a cooperative task force or policy that would allow otherwise but by default they have no jurisdiction off base. With that said they are the authority while on base. To include traffic law.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>MPs have jurisdiction over Soldiers everywhere. Their jurisdiction over the public is limited but usually covered with an agreement with the local police for the area immediately off post.<br /><br />If someone tries to speed out the gate in almost all cases they will be pursued.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Ultimately the authority wielded by the Military Police derives from the UCMJ and the fact that they are operating with the authority of the Commanding Officer. If you are subject to the UCMJ, they have authority to detain/cite/arrest you. Likewise, if you are on property that is under the authority of the military, they wield similar authority. Generally speaking any time they work off post with civilian authorities, their authority will be limited and set by a binding memorandum of agreement or understanding between the command and the civilian government. <br />Note: you do not have to be in the military to be subject to the UCMJ. DOD civilians and people employed in civilian jobs on base/post/camp will also be subject to certain articles when in specified circumstances. <br />Best thing for you to do if you have run afoul of the MP&#39;s is to speak to a lawyer with experience of the UCMJ.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Really comes down to if the base and local jurisdiction(s)have an MOA/MOU. Usually that also involves them contacting local LE immediately as well. I&#39;ve seen plenty of AF SFS patrol off base and stop locals.<br /><br />An interesting area is Eielson AFB, AK. Sort of the opposite of your question. The local highway actually crosses the bases land. Both ends have signs stating so and it is patrolled by both the base SFS and AK Troopers. Locals get pissed when stopped by SFS on that stretch. AK is also carry how you want so lots of folks are armed...which is a no-no on federal bases without permission. Makes for some interesting stops...and more pissed off civilians.<br /><br />V/R<br />Bogie

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Common sense ought to tell us that they don&#39;t have jurisdiction.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, unless they have a POST CERTIFICATE for the state they are in.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The simple answer is NO! Military Police jurisdiction generally ends at the installation boundary. There are several installations that have a highway that runs through the installation and that highway is part of the installation.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>MPs can stop someone for speeding if the traffic stop was initiated on base or we are called to assist off post. There are some bases where they have jurisdiction on a piece of a freeway because the base is big like JBLM. And CID can make off post apprehensions on soldiers and some cases civilians.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes there able, but it’s discouraged. The best course of action would be get detailed information “send it” to your dispatch then In turn they call the local responsible jurisdiction Police. On a life or death situation things become a cautious engagement.
