About Us
About AFSPA
There is a distinctive relationship among the many men and
women who have served or are serving in the Air Police,
Security Police, or Security Forces career field. Some call it
the Bond of the Blue Beret. Some of our more senior
members can recall the days of the Sam Browne and the Air
Police brassard. Whatever the tie, our members share a
sense of responsibility for and a vision of the future of this
career field.
We all understand the benefits to be derived from
remembering the past while contributing to the future by
belonging to and supporting this organization.
Our focus is on fulfilling what we consider to be the most
important goals and objectives:
• Honoring the Past
• Recognizing the Present
• Preparing for the Future

| The Air Force Security Police Asociation was incorporated as a Texas not-for-profit association in August 1987. It grew out of a reunion in Las Vegas, Nevada, in June 1986. Captain (ret) Joe Grimes, publisher of the "Guardmount" newsletter (no longer published), set up the reunion. Approximately 75 people attended. This group was mostly retired security police officers and NCOs. These became the founding members of the association. Col (ret) Jerry Bullock, CMSgt (ret) Royge Hudson, and CMSgt (ret) Larry Larios were tasked to write the Articles of Incorporation. LtCol (ret) Robert Cobbs prepared the By Laws. All were adopted at the 1987 annual meeting in San Antonio, Texas. BGen (ret) William R. Brooksher, former USAF CSP, was elected the first president of AFSPA. |
History
| Security Forces Creed I am a Security Forces member, I hold allegiance to my country, devotion to duty and personal integrity above all. I will wear my badge of authority with dignity and restraint, and will promote by example high standards of conduct, appearance, courtesy, and performance. I seek no favor because of my position. I perform my duties in a firm, courteous, and impartial manner, irrespective of a person's color, race, religion, national orgin or sex. I strive to merit the respect of my fellow airmen and all with whom I come in contact. |
| Lord, you have called us to be guardians of a nation founded on Your principles. Whatever our tasks as Security Force men and women, we do them to serve You and our nation. We are proud to accept the responsibility of this high calling. We dedicate ourselves to our vocation, and ask for guidance and courage in aiding our people to live with dignity, in safety and peace. We know true security comes from your presence, so we pray with the Psalmist: You bless those who obey You, Lord; Your love protects them like a shield. Use us, 0 Lord, as shields for Your people, reflecting Your security and peace. |
