Konoha Military Police Force

The Konoha Military Police Force previously consisted of mostly Uchiha clan members before the massacre. Although it was first believed that an Uchiha ancestor had founded the organisation, due to the Uchiha crest being part of the organisation's symbol, in truth it was founded by the Second Hokage. He handed it to the Uchiha clan as a sign of trust and good faith towards the Uchiha. Madara suggested, however, that this was just a method of distancing the Uchiha from taking part in the governing of Konoha. Some members also assumed that this was the motive, and tried to rebel as a result. It is unknown what happened to the organisation after Itachi slaughtered the clan.

Trivia

 * The Konoha Military Police's purpose is to maintain the law in the village, regarded as "elite shinobi who monitor fellow shinobi". They do not have the authority of arresting ANBU members without a warrant, as the latter directly reports to the Hokage.
