"Building 358 was once the Det2, 40th ARRW Alert Facility but later became the Security Police Armory and Central Security Control dispatch. An extension was added to the facility so we wouldn't have to stand in the pouring rain to check our weapons into and out of the armory. The surrounding roads were also paved with concrete, and 8-10 striped parking spaces were added on the north side." Duane Park, 20th SPS, 1976 - 1978.

"...taken of me in 1964 or 1965. Not hard to see what I was doing. Maybe someone will recognize the aircraft or me. If this picture comes thru to you ok, you will see that the paint was flaking off, and I don't remember for sure where this was on the flightline."
Guy A. "Tony" Smith, A2C, 3918th CDS, Jun 1964 - Jun 1966.

"My first badge I was issused when I enlisted. I don't know how many more are around but it said Air Police instead of Security Police. I may not have it long; my son is in the 82 Air Born at Fort Bragg and I was thinking of giving it to him before he depolys to the land of sand for good luck."

This assignment was often a thankless job, but always appreciated!

Submitted by John Geruntino, 20th SPS, Law Enforcement "D" Flight, Nov 1986 - Feb 1991.

Mural painted by John Geruntino in the hallway of the LE Bldg.
"... my mural is a sarcastic "Mad magazine" type dig at SP Investigations. This was before political correctness, as our CSP at the time loved it. This character is of no one in particular and any resemblance is a coincidence. (I would often do these types of caricature drawings of our squadron personnel on British cricket bats and then have people in their unit sign it and we'd give it to them as a going away present. Once the others found out, I got "tasked" by other squadrons to do this. I even was tasked to do one for the SrNCO Security Police/3rd Air Force and the CSP of all USAFE cops when he came to a dining out at Heyford. When I first got stationed at RAFUH, I use to draw caricature drawings of the "back office" SrNCO's on the guard mount room chalkboard during the midnight shift. When they came to work in SP Admin in the morning, after I was off duty, I heard they got a kick out of it, but since I was new they never did figure out who the ghost artist was�not for a couple of months, anyway!)"

Mural painted by John Geruntino
"That mural is actually on the back wall in the "RAF Upper Heyford" room at the NCO Leadership School at RAF Upwood, UK. Each classroom there is named after a 3rd AF base and it's up to the respective base to decorate their room. I was "tasked" by Heyford's SrNCO to go up there and paint it."

"My wife and I were in England visiting our girls in London this past May. We decided to take a trip to the base and show the girls where I was stationed. The museum was wonderful and we had a chance to explore around the base a little. Ended up at the old SP Hdqtrs and found a sign for the 20th SPS. It was fun."
Submitted by Trip Bellows, Sgt, 20th SPS, Jun 1970 - Sep 1972.

"These are some shots of the cop facilities. Well, what I could get anyway. The 20th SPG sign that used to be on the side of the LE Desk is now sitting in a hallway inside. I had put the award wall together at Col. Daisley's request in '91 and redid the base relief shield across from the LE Desk. That side of the building isn't used anymore and in a great state of disrepair, unfortunately. I don't remember who did the montage on the wall but always admired it, hence the picture. I didn't get any pictures of RAF Bicester but did drive past. A lot of the buildings have been refurbished and are again in use, although not by the USAF."
