When was the first Air Police school established and at which location?

The first Air Police school was established on September 1, 1950, at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. This date marks a significant development in the history of military police training within the Air Force. The establishment of the school represented a formal recognition of the need for specialized training in air base security, reflecting the growing emphasis on protecting aircraft and personnel during a time when air power was becoming a central focus of military operations.

At Tyndall AFB, the training provided aimed to equip personnel with the necessary skills in law enforcement, security tactics, and base defense, laying the groundwork for future developments in Air Force security forces training. This school has evolved over the years, adapting to new challenges and threats in military operations, but its origins at Tyndall AFB underscore its pivotal role in shaping the Air Force's approach to security.
