The MPEF is the first event directly focused on facilitating cooperation among MP Community of Interest (COI) in the area of materiel utilized by the national MP formations. Current complex military and political situations proved that sharing experience in these matters is crucial, the initiative may result in bringing added value to military police capabilities, by establishing the floor for proper standardization of equipment and procedures as far as deployments are concerned.
The NATO MP COE proposes MPEF as an appropriate platform for discussion and exchanging knowledge on matters related to efficient and effective utilization of emerging technologies and modern equipment for the present and future military police requirements.  The participants are welcome both to present the MP equipment of their respective formations, focusing particularly on material and devices tested and proved in real-life and to share their ideas and experience on the subject.

Additionally, the static presentation of the Polish MP equipment and the German MP non-lethal weapons is to be demonstrated. Subsequently, the discussion panel is planned which would concern main means and future possibilities of sharing information on MP armaments, projects and future topics of interest. Detailed agenda is achievable upon request.
