3rd Security Police Squadron

The 3rd Security Police Squadron was an Air Force unit responsible for providing security and law enforcement at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. Activated in the mid-20th century, the squadron played a key role in protecting critical assets and personnel during the Cold War and beyond. Members of the 3rd SPS conducted base defense operations, rapid response to emergencies, and participated in joint training exercises with other U.S. and allied forces. The squadron’s legacy includes a strong commitment to base security, force protection, and supporting Air Force missions in the Pacific theater.
