August 2011 saw the culmination of months of hard work and preparation as the Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) relocated it’s Northern Operational Support Unit (OSU) from temporary accommodation at Dishforth to a new HQ at RAF Linton on Ouse.

The 40-strong unit, will cover the North of England and Scotland in a variety of specialist roles, but it can be called upon to provide support across the UK if needed.
The OSU is one of two teams that cover the UK in a number of specialist roles. The team are highly trained in public order duties, specialist searching, firearms duties, and high level rope access – used to deal with incidents high above ground. They can also provide specialised video evidence gathering using high-tech monitoring equipment.
