History

The United States Security Police Museum (renamed the USAF Security Forces Museum in 2007) was established on November 5, 1979 to honor all Active Duty, Reserve, AN Guard and Retired Air Force Security Police personnel to preserve the history and heritage of the career field. It is located on Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas and is supported by the Security Forces Museum Foundation.

Security Forces are the sole ground defense force for the Air Force protecting bases, personnel, aircraft and infrastructure around the world. Explore the different exciting jobs, duties and positions within this career, and see how the career field has changed through time.
