I know that an infantryman has a blue Aiguillette that they wear on their shoulder, and the cavalry scouts having their stetsons and spurs, but I haven’t heard of any other MOS having anything to wear with their uniforms. Does an MP get anything to wear with their dress blues?

In my day, we only had the Harpers Ferry crossed pistols on our collar brass, and the MP Battalion Crest on our shoulder epaulets. Today, the Harpers Ferry crossed pistols, and the MP Regimental Crest above the right pocket.
Again, back in the day, for ceremonial events, we wore green ascots which in my opinion, look horrid. When on duty, we also wore the MP Badge; but that only lasted a few years. Some units still use the Badge depending on their command's preference.

I would get with your chain of command. They may have unit specific items

The “Crossed Pistols” insignia for the Military Police Corps was approved in 1923. The device depicts two scale models of the Harper's Ferry officer's sidearm and holster pistol of a century-and-a-half ago, rather than dueling pistols, as some believe.

On Dress Blues or whatever they are wearing now you will notice the MP Corps wears a deep red and deep green Aiguillette.

This is incorrect. It is not worn by the Military Police.
