4175 Security Police

The 4175th Security Police Squadron was a United States Air Force unit assigned to Shemya Air Force Station in Alaska during the Cold War era. Activated in the 1960s, its primary mission was to provide security and law enforcement for the strategic and sensitive operations at the remote Shemya installation, which played a crucial role in intelligence gathering and early warning systems. The squadron was responsible for safeguarding both personnel and critical assets against potential threats, including espionage and sabotage. The 4175th Security Police Squadron was eventually inactivated as part of broader force reductions and changes in mission requirements in the late 20th century.
