21st Security Police Squadron

The 21st Security Police Squadron was a United States Air Force unit responsible for law enforcement and security functions at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron played a crucial role in safeguarding personnel, resources, and strategic assets, particularly those supporting air defense missions in the region. Members of the 21st SPS conducted patrols, controlled base entry, and responded to emergencies to ensure the security of the installation. The unit was eventually redesignated as the 21st Security Forces Squadron, continuing its legacy under the Air Force's modern security forces structure.
