The Air Force Security Police Badge is a military badge of the Air Force Security Forces of the United States Air Force. Originally known as the "Air Police Badge", the Air Force Security Police Badge has existed since the early 1960s. The badge is worn in the center of the left shirt pocket of all Air Force uniforms with the exception of the Mess Dress Uniform where it is worn on the left side of the chest beneath the ribbons/medals, and is the primary identification for officers and enlisted airmen of the Air Force Security Police.
The Air Force Security Police Badge is considered a symbol of legal authority and Force Protection on Air Force Installations. The badge is awarded to all Security Forces (SF) members upon graduation from the Security Forces Academy (Tech school). Each badge is imprinted with a unique number that the Security Forces Member will wear their entire SF career.
A similar decoration to the Air Force Security Police Badge is the Air Force Fire Protection Badge.

“There was never a man born so wise or good, but one or more companions came into the world with him, who delight in his faculty, and report it. I cannot see without awe, that no man thinks alone and no man acts alone, but the divine assessors who came up with him into life,—now under one disguise, now under another,—like a police in citizen’s clothes, walk with him, step for step, through all kingdoms of time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
