The Military Police Corps (חיל המשטרה הצבאית) was established in 1948. It traces its origins to the Guards (נוטרות, Notrim) (1936–1948) of the Palestine Police as well as the Military Police Department (מחלקת המשטרה הצבא) of the Jewish Brigade. On October 13, 1949, the name of the military police was changed from Military Police Service (Sherut Mishtara Tzva'it) to Military Police Corps (Heil HaMishtara HaTzva'it), its current denomination.

The military police emblem (flag), designed in 1949, consists of a shield and five flame tongues which, according to the creators, represent the five unbreakable truths of the military police: purity of the arm, purity of arms, purity of heart, purity of action and purity of the eye. By contrast, the military police pin, or hamatzon, has only four flame tongues. A sixth flame tongue is sometimes added to specific unit insignia, symbolizing the purity of scale.
The insignia consists of blue bricks and the red letters Mem and Tzadik (Mishtara Tzva'it, i.e. Military Police) together with a red flame. This is used on official buildings as well as vehicles and other hardware.
