15th SPS

The 15th Security Police Squadron (15th SPS) was a unit of the United States Air Force responsible for base security, law enforcement, and force protection. Activated at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, the 15th SPS played a crucial role in safeguarding key Air Force assets and personnel during the Cold War and into the post-Vietnam era. The squadron conducted base defense operations, coordinated emergency response, and maintained readiness for potential threats, both external and internal. In later years, the unit underwent organizational changes and was eventually redesignated as the 15th Security Forces Squadron, continuing its mission under a new name.
