Air Police? As in USAF security forces? If so no it won't work under leosa.

Your answer may be found here:

and here:

www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/552512p.pdf

If you are issued the appropriate retiree ID mentioned in the above documents, then you qualify for leosa.

I still want to know what "air police" are. USAF? FAA? Air marshals? Local LEO looking up in the sky and saying "I can police that too!"?

I'm assuming he is referring to the Air Force. I was in the af for three years before I joined the army and I was security forces. We always said air cops...

USAF Air Police were the USAF law enforcement officers before Security Police and now Security Forces. Vietnam Nam time frame.

That's not completely correct. 18USC926c(3) says:

(A) before such separation, served as a law enforcement officer for an aggregate of 10 years or more; or

(B) separated from service with such agency, after completing any applicable probationary period of such service, due to a service-connected disability, as determined by such agency;

Glad they changed it when I got out I looked into it but at the time it was a no go.

In the current situation are all of the Security Forces equal , or are there specific individuals designated as Law Enforcement Agents (1980s terminology, may have changed) .

Yes. Everyone is Security Forces now. If you were a Security Specialist back in days of old you are still good to go. AP, SP, LE or today's Security Forces are all good. Leosaonline.com has all the info you need.

Meaning medical separation under 10 years of service that person will qualify.
I.e... recruit completed FTO training and started working alone. 1 month after set free he gets injured at work and has to medically retire, he will qualify for LEOSA.
