Presumably there are RM Policemen employed elsewhere in the Corps and in the wider Naval Service, in which case the Troop element within 3 Cdo is just that, a Troop element rather than the entire Police Service? I can see arguments on both sides, for example Y Troop may offer a precedent.

Note that the article was created (by me) as a general article about the Royal Marines Police, not specifically about the Police Troop of 3 Commando Brigade. Others changed the focus to the troop, so it seems a little odd to use that as justification for renaming the article. There is, according to Hansard and the Police and Constabulary Almanac, an organisation called the Royal Marines Police (of which the Police Troop is the primary part), which is where this article should have stayed. --

I've nosed around this morning and agree, the article should be RM Police. Unfortunately that confirmation was verbal and R documents so not citable.

Its always quoted as Royal Marines Police Troop in the RMP Journal, because it is literally just a troop (platoon).
Members of the Royal Marines that are not part of the Troop do serve with the Regulators/RN Provost and even wear the white NP (with a crown) armband in the same fashion as the RN, this normally occurs at RN Provost units such as Portsmouth or at sea.
It appears in the annual Police and Constabulary Almanac as the Royal Marines Police, and NCOs from it apparently serve as advisers with other RM units. The Troop is the only formed unit, but "RM Police" does appear to be used as a generic term. --
