What is the difference between combat military police and garrison military police?

I wanna join Army military police and would like to do alot of law enforcement duties hopefull patrol on base but i would like to know the difference in the two. And also do you get to pick which one you want?|||Combat military police would be things you would do when you get deployed overseas to like afghanistan or iraq. You'll patroll the streets in Hummvees and set up check points. The easiest way I can explain it is your pretty much like infantry the only difference is your in a Hummvee with better equipment, weapons, and you don't have to walk. For garrison work that's pretty much what you said you wanted to do. It's law enforcement duties and patrol pretty much you'll be like a civilian police except on a military installation. From my own experience I haven't heard of anyone being able to choose, pretty much it all boils down to which unit your going to and your going to be doing what there doing. The only way I think the best thing for you to do is if you do sign up, talk to the recruiter and tell him you want to be a garrison mp and that you want it on your contract otherwise your not going to sign up. Other than that it's pretty much going to depend on which unit your going to and what they are doing.
