3201 SPS

The 3201st Security Police Squadron (3201 SPS) was a United States Air Force unit primarily stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, during the Cold War era. Activated in the early 1960s, the squadron was responsible for providing law enforcement, base defense, and security for sensitive operations, including the protection of nuclear weapons and experimental aircraft. The 3201 SPS played a critical role in safeguarding advanced research and development activities at Eglin, supporting both stateside and overseas missions as required. The unit was eventually inactivated or redesignated as part of USAF organizational changes in the late 1970s.
