Hi, I am ex MOD Police, Join them if you are interested in a long term steady career. The job is very routine, mainly armed guarding and patrolling, however it depends on where you are located. Crime investigation is not a big part of the uniform constables job on most sites, you are there to provide an armed (police) presence as a deterrent, and acting in a security type role on static points and patrols. It can be boring I admit, but it is a very important job when you consider what you are looking after.
It depend what you want. The MOD Police will give you a well paid, long term career with oppertunity to work at various locations in the UK, as well as volunteering for international policing. The promotion prospects are good too, as are the specialist groups such as CID, dogs, Operational support, and marine policing at Naval Bases.
I wouldnt say its a good way to get into another force, and you certainly couldnt go straight in to a police firearms unit. However, your experience gained in the MOD would help you in selection for that role. If its firearms your interested in, there is oppertunity to become an instructor in the MOD, as they have lots due to the amount of training and requals carried out.
