The '''Department of the Army Civilian Police''' ('''DACP'''),<ref> https://home.army.mil/wood/units-tenants/USAMPS/MPOrganizations/directorate-training-education/usamps-courses/united-states-army-civilian-police-academy</ref> also known as the '''Department of the Army Police''' ('''DA Police'''),<ref> https://www.army.mil/article-amp/62700/fort_polk_da_police_officers_mps_work_to_keep_community_safe</ref> is the uniformed, civilian-staffed [[security police]] program of the [[United States Army]]. It provides professional, civilian, federal police officers to serve and protect U.S. Army personnel, properties, and installations. DACP personnel represent the [[United States Department of the Army|Department of the Army's]] contribution to the [[Department of Defense Police]] program. DACP [[law enforcement officers]] primarily work alongside the [[United States Army Military Police Corps|U.S. Army Military Police Corps]], the Army service members who hold law enforcement [[United States military occupation code|military occupational specialities]]. DACP officers are supplemented by '''Department of the Army Security Guards''', who are uniformed and armed federal security officers, primarily responsible for entry control and basic security tasks. Although the [[Army Criminal Investigation Division]] employs civilian [[special agents]], it does not fall-under the DACP nor DoD Police umbrella.
