What is police discretion?

It means the police officer has a choice. example: a police officer pulls you over for a minor traffic violation (not stopping at a stop sign) he has a choice of whether to give you a ticket or a warning (written or verbal). This is called discretion. Another example would be urinating in public, the officer uses his/her discretion on whether or not to make an arrest or just issue a ticket violation. Police don't have discretion in all circumstances. Law and departmental policy can limit or eliminate discretion. For example, if an officer witnesses a felony, law requires the officer arrest the suspect. And, departmental policy might require an officer issue citations for all seat belt violations.

Can you be a police officer in the Navy?

The Navy equivalent of a police officer is called a "master at arms" or MAA. MAAs maintain security on naval ships and installations, and less frequently serve as a shore patrol in locations where naval personnel are stationed or have liberty (a day off from shipboard or regular duties). They also staff brigs (jails) on naval installations and on board ships. As with other military police, they do not retain their police powers when off duty.
