The Aetos Security Management Private Limited, is one of the three private security companies authorised to provide armed security officers in Singapore to government organisations as well as private companies. A fully owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings, it was formed in February 2004 as a result of a government initiative in revamping the local armed security services sector.

The company expanded significantly as a result of an amalgamation exercise initiated by Temasek Holdings which took effect on 1 April 2004, which saw the security services provided by PSA Corporation and Singapore Technologies Kinetics merging with Aetos. The Changi International Airport Services's (CIAS) airport security unit was also merged subsequently.

In 2006, AETOS Security Management formed two wholly owned subsidiary, AETOS Security Consultants, and AETOS Security Training and Consultancy, to meet their broadened scope of unarmed business and training and consultancy business.

The AETOS Auxiliary Police Force has a command structure comprising a Commander and three Deputy Commanders. The Deputy Commander East Region commands a security force in charge of aviation security terminal operations at Changi International Airport, the Deputy Commander West Region commands a security force in charge of maritime security operations across various installations on the western part of Singapore, while the Deputy Commander SSU looks after Security Screening Unit, and security functions at the terminal gatehold rooms.
