Questions over the wider implications of the interface between local residents of the Lääne-Viru County town of Tapa and NATO military personnel from a major base just outside the town have arisen following a recent incident which required the attendance of British Royal Military Police (RMP) personnel. At the same time, the saga needs to be seen in the context of both the usual role of military police forces based away from the home country, and the particular set-up agreed between the U.K. and Estonia. The controversy may or may not also arise from public perception on how to categorize a military police force as compared with the more familiar civilian police forces, like Estonia s Police and Border Guard Board (PPA).
