Yes, the Army MP badge is still used. That being said.... in MOST cases, its used for MPI (Military Police Investigations). Last I heard, every MP company/Unit has Badges issued, (Per TOE I think), but seldom issed to indv. MP's. You may see them from time to time on MP's working special functions... ( think presidential, or Congress etc..) The Army still has a Spec Sheet on the badges, for the manufacturer of the badges. I think there are two companes that make them. the Specs have changed slightly over the years, but nothing major. Just a few tweeks on the rounding of the edges, or weight, etc. The "REAL" MP badges are east to spot..... they ALL have the words "GOVT PROPERTY" stamped on the pin atachment on the back of the badge, and ALL have a nmber on the bottom....1 letter, and 4 numbers. (My old one was S0459). I have heard some people talk of the number is the First letter of the last name, and last for of the SSN, but I kind of doubt that, it makes the badge usless for the next guy. And they are controlled items, so they are turned in. MPI is real particulare about the MPI creds, so my guess is that somone working MPI must just be ordering Dups, and putting the numbers they want on it... but not sure. hope this helps.
