317th SPS

The 317th Security Police Squadron (317th SPS) was a unit of the United States Air Force tasked with providing law enforcement, base security, and force protection. Originally activated during the Cold War era, the 317th SPS was assigned to various locations, including Pope Air Force Base in North Carolina, where it supported tactical airlift and airborne operations. Throughout its history, the unit played a critical role in safeguarding personnel and resources, particularly during times of heightened alert and deployment. The 317th SPS was eventually redesignated as the 317th Security Forces Squadron, continuing its legacy of excellence in security and defense.
