The SAF Military Police Command (Chinese: 新加坡武装部队宪兵指挥部, Malay: Markas Polis Tentera Angkatan Bersenjata Singapura, Tamil: சிங்கப்பூர் ஆயுதப்பமட ராணுவ மபாலிஸ)[2] is the military police formation of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).[3] Established as the Singapore Armed Forces Provost Unit (SAFPU) in 1966, its primary role is to police duties to uphold standards of discipline within the SAF, and to provide security coverage for key SAF military installations and the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) headquarters at Bukit Gombak.

The Military Police Command also perform guard mounting at the Istana, and form the ceremonial guard of honour for state visits by foreign dignitaries and at other national events. Moreover, they maintain discipline within the SAF through enforcement and the operation of the SAF Detention Barracks, and search and rescue operations, amongst other duties. In wartime contingencies, the Military Police Command would be tasked with safeguarding prisoners-of-war, protecting rear echelon areas and headquarters, as well as securing important supply routes and relevant bases for Singapore.[4]
