7th SPS

The 7th Security Police Squadron (7th SPS) is a United States Air Force unit historically assigned to the 7th Bomb Wing at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. Activated in the 1960s, the 7th SPS was responsible for providing security, law enforcement, and force protection for personnel, aircraft, and critical assets, particularly those associated with the Strategic Air Command’s B-52 and later B-1B bomber operations. The unit played a vital role during the Cold War, maintaining high readiness to defend against potential threats and participating in various training exercises and deployments. Over time, the squadron evolved into the 7th Security Forces Squadron (7th SFS), continuing its legacy of protecting the base and supporting global Air Force missions.
