I was born at Westover in 1961 while my father was stationed there as a crew chief on the 135s. We left for Mather AFB in 1966.

I had three run-ins with the Air Police. To me the SP will always be AP's.

1. My friend set a fire and I remember the men in their white hats coming to talk to me about it.

2. I got lost at the base air show as we went through a fire truck, an AP took me in as I was crying up a storm until my dad came after being paged that we have your son.

3. One bright and early morning my brother and I snuck out of the house and ended up down by the main gate. My mother got a call from the AP's at the front gate stating we have your sons.

So as you can see the security police also performed some humanitarian missions as well.
