Lejeune to add civilian police

CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) — Civilian police officers could one day supplement military police at Camp Lejeune.

That plan comes after a Marine Corps committee decided more security is needed at Marine installations.

A base spokesman says the base probably won’t start adding the civilian officers for another three years.

The base says in a statement that the Marine Corps concluded MPs needed supplementing at bases, air stations and elsewhere.

Planning is expected to start next year.
