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.
