The Konoha Military Police Force was — as the name suggests — the judicial organisation in Konohagakure. While Itachi stated that the organisation was founded by an Uchiha ancestor,[1] Tobi states that it was founded by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and was given to the Uchiha to run as a sign of trust and good faith between the Senju and themselves.[2] Tobi also claimed, that this was just a method of distancing the Uchiha from taking part in the governing of Konoha.[3] Tobi also stated that a few members such like Setsuna also belived that this was the true motive, and tried to rebel as a result.[3]
The symbol of the organisation.
Naturally, it consisted of mostly Uchiha clan members before the massacre because — as Itachi Uchiha put it — only strong shinobi were capable of bringing other shinobi to justice.[4] The last known leader of this organisation is Fugaku Uchiha. It is unknown what happened to the organisation after Itachi massacred the clan.

The Konoha Military Police's purpose was 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.[5] The symbol of the organisation was a four-point star with the crest of the Uchiha clan embedded into the centre and the attire of the police force consisted of the standard Konoha-nin attire with the symbol of the police force emblazoned on the shoulders instead of the regular Uzushiogakure symbol.
