455th Air Expeditionary Wing   

Police Week honors members of law enforcement who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. 455th ESFS and local OSI Airmen are no strangers to sacrifice. Working as military police and base defense Airmen in a combat zone is bold, risky business--a challenge they meet head on.

In recognizing the seriousness of their duties, OSI and Security Forces personnel wrapped up Police Week at Bagram with a special deployed retreat ceremony. They demonstrated respect to the flag of the United States and took a roll call of law enforcement personnel who have given their lives at Bagram Airfield since the U.S Air Force began utilizing it.
