831st Air Police Squadron

The 831st Air Police Squadron was a United States Air Force unit active primarily during the Cold War era. Originally activated in the mid-1950s, the squadron was assigned to George Air Force Base, California, where it provided vital security and law enforcement for base operations and assets. The 831st played a crucial role in safeguarding tactical fighter wings and supporting deployments during periods of heightened alert, contributing to the overall mission readiness of the base. The unit was later redesignated as the 831st Security Police Squadron as part of an Air Force-wide reorganization and continued its legacy of base defense until the closure of George AFB in 1992.
