Looking Back: RCAF 100th Anniversary (Police and Security Services)

1 April 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The RCAF existed as a separate armed service for its first 44 years, and now serves as the air component of the unified Canadian Armed Forces.

From 1939 until 1968 the RCAF operated its own service police organization. The contemporary RCAF draws its police support from the CAF Military Police Branch.
