20th SPS

The 20th Security Police Squadron (20th SPS) was a United States Air Force unit assigned to provide base security and law enforcement at RAF Upper Heyford, England, during the Cold War. Activated in the 1950s, the squadron played a crucial role in safeguarding USAFE assets, including nuclear-capable aircraft and strategic resources. Throughout its tenure, the 20th SPS enforced security protocols, managed access control, and responded to potential threats, ensuring the operational readiness of the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing. The unit was inactivated following the closure of RAF Upper Heyford in the 1990s, marking the end of its distinguished service.
