(AFNS) More security devices needed The size of the security police force today is too big, according to the Air Force Chief of Security Police. Brig. Gen. P. Neal Scheidel made that surprise statement during an interview at Strategic Air Command Headquarters. "I say that because one out of every seven people who enlist in the Air Force today becomes a security policeman," explained the general. He states that while that makes a sizable force and provides the capability to protect our resources, it does not provide any more warfighting capabilities. General Scheidel states that better use of sensors and other electronic devices could reduce the manpower dedicated to security police activities, such as guarding the controlled entry on various locations. The typical per day encosts Force the Air control about $125,000 point try per year to man, and costs could be cut with sensor devices as long as the protection of our nuclear weapons was not compromised. General Scheidel also believes that competitions such as the Peacekeeper Challenge at Kirtland AFB, N.M., are important to test the forces under the most adverse conditions, as the increased threat of terrorist attack provides growing challenges for the security police force. According to General Scheidel, the security police today is the best trained and most motivated ever.
