Speaking in a report on Rossiya 24 television, Russian military police front man Yusup Mamatov said MPs had started patrolling "the security zone around Manbij".
"The task is to ensure security in the area of responsibility (and) to monitor the situation and movements of armed formations," Mamatov said.
The report said Russian military police would be deployed in the area "on a regular basis". It showed a group of around a dozen khaki-clad armed military police driving through villages in jeeps and lorries flying the Russian flag.

They withdrew from the town earlier this month after Trump’s announcement.
Trump has in recent days sought to calm fears of an abrupt US pullout, saying any withdrawal would be done in a "prudent" manner.
It was not clear how close the Russian patrols may have been to areas where US forces are deployed.
Syria’s Kurdish minority has largely stayed out of the country’s seven-year civil war, but controls large parts of the north and northeast, much of it seized in the US-supported campaign against ISIS.
