To add to that:
British Military Police in at least both the Army and the RAF (RAF Police in their case)
wear a sew on patch on their right arm (the same arm brassards use to be worn on, but since S95s don't have shoulder epaullettes, one cannot be worn) that is 3"x3" (scarlet in colour) with black lettering "M.P." on their Soldier '95 Pattern DPM dress. Royal Military Police (British Army) also wear a scarlet coloured beret and are one of the only Regiments to have metal cap-badges for Officers and Other ranks.
RMP Cap Badge.

RMP arm tiles (never seen the OG or desert DMP used however, but they might well be out there)

A 3.5" red arm band is used with Army ceremonial dress.

RAF Police have a distinction where their rank slides are "footnoted" with a 1" red band with "RAF Police" written in black (not worn with Number 1 Service Dress [ red arm band as detailed above is worn instead]). RAF Police wear a peaked cap with Number 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 2a, 2b service dress which has a white top cover opposed to the blue of the rest of the RAF. The normal blue service beret is worn with S'95s.
I can't say what it's like for the Royal Navy, as I have no idea.
