firefighter Posted December 6, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2015 The ONLY one I have ever found was by LTC Charles R. River; METAL INSIGNIAS OF THE U.S. AIR FORCES SECURITY POLICE & his SUPPLEMENT 1 1987-1988.Not sure when the original was published, I got it in the late 70s/early 80s.Both show beret badges, AP, SP, unauthorized badges and qual badges. first one is 16 pages and the supplement is 30 pages and also has patches. Both are B/W and out of print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, if he filed for an ISBN there will be copies via the Library of Congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy53 Posted January 1, 2016 Share #7 Posted January 1, 2016 For specific questions about the shields, best thing to do is contact the Security Forces Museum at Lackland AFB or AFSFA.. Otherwise, I would check out the second "Into The Blue" volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy53 Posted January 5, 2016 Share #9 Posted January 5, 2016 In the most recent Security Forces journal magazine, there was an article explaining that a retired Air Force Master Sergeant named Chris Arnold was beginning work on a book called "Sky-Cops and Peacekeepers: Uniforms and Equioment of the USAF Air Police and Security Police." The project was just in the begining stage. There was no indication when it would be completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The project was just in the begining stage. There was no indication when it would be completed. He is working on the book now. I loaned him some items for the book.I don't think he is even close to publishing it yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be soon. There is also a nice selection of AP/SP's in Vietnam in the book YANKEE AIR PIRATES vol 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usaf1987 Posted July 28, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 28, 2017 I bought a book off of ebay called Police badges and shields of the US Air Force by MSgt Chris Armold for $30. Very good source on USAF badges from 40s up to today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
