The Burma Military Police (BMP) was a paramilitary force of British Burma. Its main functions were the pacification of Upper Burma and the policing of the Burmese frontier. The force was made up of Indian and Burmese recruits.[1]
Dating back to 1886, it was formally established under the Upper Burma Military Police Regulation in 1887, which was superseded the same year by the Burma Military Police Act.
In July 1917, the 85th Burman Rifles were raised from the Burma Military Police.[2]
After the separation of Burma from British India, most battalions of the Burma Military Police became part of the new Burma Frontier Force, which after the Second World War became the Burma Frontier Constabulary. The remaining battalions were allocated to the Inspector-General of Police, Burma in 1942.[3]
