The '''United States Department of the Navy Police''' ('''DoN Police''') is the uniformed [[security police]] program of the [[United States Navy]]. It provides professional, civilian, federal police officers to serve and protect U.S. Navy personnel, properties, and installations. DoN Police personnel represent the [[United States Department of the Navy|Department of the Navy's]] contribution to the [[Department of Defense Police]] program. DoN Police officers primarily work alongside [[Master-at-arms (United States Navy)|U.S. Navy masters-at-arms]], the [[military police]] of the U.S. Navy. Although under the Department of the Navy, the [[United States Marine Corps]] (USMC) maintains its own civilian law enforcement program for Marine Corps-centric installations, the [[United States Marine Corps Civilian Police|USMC Civilian Police]]. Despite both employing civilian [[special agents]], neither the [[Naval Criminal Investigative Service]] nor the [[United States Marine Corps Criminal Investigation Division|USMC Criminal Investigation Division]] fall-under the auspices of the DoN/DoD Police; both agencies have their own chains of command.
