9th security police squadron

The 9th Security Police Squadron was an integral unit of the United States Air Force, primarily stationed at Beale Air Force Base, California. Activated during the Cold War, the squadron was tasked with providing security and law enforcement for the base, including the protection of high-value reconnaissance assets such as the SR-71 Blackbird and U-2 aircraft. Throughout its history, the unit played a vital role in safeguarding critical resources and ensuring the operational readiness of Beale AFB’s strategic missions. The 9th Security Police Squadron later evolved into the 9th Security Forces Squadron, continuing its legacy of excellence in force protection and base defense.
