We have military affiliations with the Royal Navy, the Royal Military Police and  the Royal Air Force Regiment.  The Company of Security Professionals’ NCO Leadership Trophy is presented annually to an NCO of the RAF Regiment who has displayed conspicuous leadership and courage beyond the normal call of duty.  The Award is presented to the worthy winner at the Master’s Installation Luncheon at Drapers’ Hall in June each year.  Similar Awards are being organized for the Royal Navy affiliated vessel and the Royal Military Police.

RAF Regiment

The Company’s first affiliation was with the RAF Regiment in September 2004.  Many of our Members have spent time with RAF Regiment Squadrons joining them whilst they undergo special training prior to their deployment on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Royal Navy

In September 2006 the Court approved the affiliation with HMS SEVERN, a Royal Naval fisheries protection vessel, forming part of the Fisheries Protection Squadron which patrols the Home Waters of the British Isles, to protect fish stocks and to deal with any fishing vessel trespassing within our waters.  Members of the Company have been entertained at various social events on board including a sea patrol to witness first-hand the operational tasks that HMS SEVERN and her crew perform.

The Army

On the 2 January 2007 the Court approved the affiliation of the Company with the Royal Military Police, part of the Adjutant General Corps of the British Army.  The RMP trace their history back to the 17^th century when they were given a policing responsibility for the Army when the Army was called for duty. In its present function the RMP have a very important role in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan where they operate in the front line.  The Master and the Provost Marshal (Army) have each exchanged visits; as have members of the Company to HQ RMP, to establish the affiliation.
