Are Military Cops sent into combat like the regular army?

Or do they stand by and supervise? How does that work? Because, I eventually want to be a Cop after a high school, and I think a great start would be to join up with the army for a few years being a Military Cop. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
 
Hell yeah they see plenty of combat. They can be worse off in some cases. Despite what these kids who have never been in the army say, every job can end up in combat especially MPs. My recruiter was an MP and he was in combat when deployed. Your duties are often different but no less safe.
 
The Army has its own law enforcement and security specialists to handle crimes committed on Army property or that involve Army personnel or their families. Military Police protect lives and property on Army installations by enforcing military laws and regulations, as well as controlling traffic, preventing crime, and responding to emergencies.

Military Police are responsible for providing support to the battlefield by conducting Area Security, Internment/Resettlement, Maneuver and Mobility Support, Law & Order, and Police Intelligence Operations. Some of your duties as a member of the Military Police Corps Regiment may include:

Law enforcement patrolling by car, boat, bicycle, and on foot
Interview witnesses, victims and suspects in the course of investigating crimes
Crime scene security and processing
Evidence and fingerprint collection
Arrest and charge criminal suspects
Military Police working dog handler
Testify in court
Enforce traffic regulations and guarding entrances to military facilities
 
during a conventional war MPs do not participate in combat. during a non-linear war like this one, they do participate in combat but not in the same way that infantry does.
these days MPs train local police (iraqi/afghani police) to do a policemans job just in a hostile territory. so they do go out on missions with them but those missions are not ones that are going out and looking for combat.
