The 91st Military Police Brigade (Spanish: 91 º Brigada de Policía Militar) is a military police unit of the Narsoran National Army tasked with assistance of the civilian population and the Narsoran National Police during states of emergency.

History
The Brigade was formed in March 1991 six years after the disastrous 1984-85 21-O Revolution due to the military having no dedicated policing units specifically designed to deal with protests and the National Police's poor record with mass protests. They have been involved in every major mass disturbance since 1991.
Equipment
As the brigade is under direct control of the national army, it uses all of the same equipment. MPO's are armed and usually carry Pepper spray, handcuffs, a communications device, ballistic helmet visors, batons and the military's standard issue SIG P226 pistol, and Galil ACE service rifle as well.
Uniform
Military police are distinguished by a patch with "MP" worn on the shoulder and a helmet. The unit wears the camouflage pattern of the National Army shown below.
Insignia
