Military Police

professional enforcement-oriented dutiful procedural
Military Police enforce naval disciplinary codes by arresting Lt. Cmdr. Vickie Hilton, a decorated pilot, on JAG charges of an affair with a married subordinate officer—framed as disobeying orders, risking jail time. Their off-stage action interrupts Bartlet's Cabinet reset at term's end, injecting military justice into White House personnel debates and exposing political vulnerabilities around command authority and optics.
