Pumpkin Patrol keeps community safe Published Nov. 1, 2012 By 45th Space Wing Public Affairs PATRICK AFB, Fla. -- Our defenders in the 45th Security Forces Squadron kept our community safe during the fall festivities last night. Every year, the Security Forces Squadron puts together a team of volunteers to police the housing areas to guarantee the safety our children during the end of the month's fall activities. This team is called Pumpkin Patrol. It is a Security Forces initiative that not only provides the neighborhood a sense of security, but it also gives Security Forces personnel a chance to reach out to the families in our base community.
