Secret Police	comment	If our protagonists are visiting Commie Land or a Banana Republic, they will never run into the Secret Police. Why would they? You only need a police force if there is crime, and the country the heroes are in either has the lowest crime rate in the world or absolutely no crime at all. Any troublemaker just tends to "disappear" overnight; people who see their neighbors being taken away know it's best to look away and not guess why. And as there are no criminals, there's also no need for any court of law, jury by peers, or state prisons. Common in Dystopian fiction. If the Secret Police existed and had their own military force, then it would be a State Sec. If they don't officially exist, they might be No Such Agency. If there's an identifiable leader, they'll almost always be The Spymaster. If the culture isn't so bad, or the police—while secret, or at least very quiet—aren't altogether evil or brutal, they may just be The Men in Black. Compare Police State, where the police organization enforces a totalitarian regime openly.

Secret Police / int_13605458	comment	The Oprichnina are an example of this trope in Gate. Formed by Zorzal after his father, Emperor Molto, is poisoned, he uses this force to arrest any nobles and senators who are attempting to seek a peaceful resolution with the Japanese government. Despite their horrendous behavior, what they're doing is technically considered the Empire's internal affairs, preventing the Japanese Prime Minister from being able to house any Imperials attempting to seek refuge in their embassy, lest Zorzal uses this as an excuse to restart the war.

In addition to gathering intelligence on other lands, they also enforce political loyalty and philosophical orthodoxy among the qunari population, and are responsible for "re-educating" those who have gone astray. One of the potential companions in Dragon Age: Inquisition, Iron Bull, is a Ben-Hassrath operative who is surprisingly open about it, and he talks about some of their tactics they use to control the population.

They mainly hunt out revolutionaries and are not picky about how they get their information. People have been known to enter their HQ and are never seen again. The scene where a time displaced Vimes breaks into the building is a disturbing scene by Discworld standards. In a chronologically later book, Commander Vimes revives them as an undercover division of the City Watch: "secret policemen for secret crimes" as he puts it. It's safe to assume that since they report to an honest Commander, the modern Particulars are a benevolent version. The one secret policeman we meet in Maskerade is essentially the same thing as an undercover officer and works under a temporary identity to investigate a specific crime, rather than lurking and spying indiscriminately.

Secret Police / int_49a87cb3	comment	Appears to be a large part of the Turks' job in the Final Fantasy VII setting, although it's not their official job and they combine it with CIA-type external functions. And dress like Men in Black. Another variant of theirs on the archetype is having only first names and a great variety in appearance and fighting style. They pulled at least one of their members out of an orphanage and trained her from childhood. This is not standard Secret Police fare; there's a certain ninja vibe to the whole thing and they apparently take lead in most covert ops, even if SOLDIERs are assigned as supplementary muscle. And please everyone note that these are the secret police not of a country, but of a power company. Though said company is the government. Before Crisis winds up being largely about being a rebel Turk faction trying to Screw The Rules And Do The Right Thing. Interestingly, the ringleader of this little caper, the stoic softy Tseng, is still head Turk during Advent Children, when Shinra has lost most of its control, and is one of Rufus Shinra's personal guards.

One of the reasons everyone hates them so much is because they have a nasty habit of dragging off dissenters and making them disappear; a right they gained within Imperial territory from the Empire as part of the White-Gold Concordat to end the Great War no less.

Secret Police / int_6a8ce345	comment	The Dai Li of Ba Sing Se from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They have an official charge: to preserve the city's cultural heritage. They have an unofficial charge: to keep order within the city walls. Their three modes of operation are through establishing a Panopticon effect where you are always being watched and know it, deploying terrifyingly consistent brainwashed PR operatives, and physically assaulting any remaining problems with intensely trained earthbenders, who apparently also are the main intelligence officers, since they're only supposed to fight when the system has sprung a leak. While they officially answer to the Earth Kingdom royalty, in practice they are loyal only to whoever keeps them in power; at the start of the story this is Long Feng, by Book 3 its Azula, and in the sequel show they've somehow warped back around to the Earth Queen, who unlike her father is a power-hungry despot. Perhaps the scariest thing about them is that they were founded by an Avatar; they were one of Avatar Kyoshi's pet projects.

The Gnomes of Zilargo are mostly happy with this arrangement, since their nation has the lowest crime rate on the continent and their national pastime, intrigue, is not generally interfered with. This, combined with the fact that they're actually rather democratic (Zilargo has the most lax censorship laws in Eberron) means that they actually seem like a mostly normal police force who just happen to be run by a culture where elaborate schemes are looked upon as a fun diversion. To put it another way: in Zilargo, a gnome becomes paranoid if he thinks no one is watching him.

It was a replacement for Corellian Security Force (or CorSec), which was a regular law-enforcement organisation broadly comparable to the FBI or the French Gendarmerie with a close working relationship to the local Jedi sect.

You assign it to an existing service building and they monitor dissent on the island, allowing you to discreetly head off subversive activities and assassinate undesired civilians. They are more effective if they are allowed to tap the island's telecommunications. In Tropico 5, the secret police cannot be formed until the Cold War.

Secret Police / int_81692f99	comment	The Tal Shiar, Obsidian Order and Section 31 in Star Trek. Section 31 is notable because it (an amoral, covert agency) operates within The Federation (who typically acts in the open and does the right choice). However, Section 31 is more of a Secret Society than a Secret Police. Section 31 is even more notable in that while all other said governments at least tacitly acknowledge their prospective organization's existence, even Section 31's name means little to nothing, as it could more technically be called Article XIV, Section 31...that is, of the original United Earth Starfleet Charter, that ambiguously allows an unspecified "investigative agency" to take "extraordinary measures" in cases of "extraordinary circumstances" which threaten Earth, and later on the Federation as a whole. As Luther Sloane makes clear in the Deep Space Nine finale about them...there are no centralized offices for Section 31, anywhere. Some admirals and other high-ranking officials seem to know of its existence, but Section 31 is held accountable to absolutely no one. Star Trek: Discovery then reveals that in the mid-23rd century, Section 31 was a known and sanctioned division of Starfleet Intelligence, with certain admirals providing oversight. Then they lost control of a threat-assessment A.I. that tried to end all sentient life in the galaxy and it was decided that Section 31 had to be kept on a shorter leash. Apparently, that didn't go so well. The Cardassian Obsidian Order is so powerful that they are effectively The Omniscient Council of Vagueness that runs the whole empire. Civilian politicians and military commanders do exist, but eventually all major decisions are made by them. The Romulans' Tal Shiar behaves as both secret police and political officers aboard Romulan ships. Romulans are almost universally terrified of them. When Troi is posing as a Tal Shiar officer aboard a Romulan Warbird (long story), she mostly maintains her cover because the ship's crew doesn't dare question any of her actions. Near the episode's climax, she commandeers the ship from its rightful commander by threatening to summarily execute not just anyone who objects, but their entire family. The crew's reaction makes it clear that nobody doubts that a member of the Tal Shiar would follow through on that threat. In Star Trek: Picard, Laris, herself a former Tal Shiar operative, points out that the term "Secret" Police, while not inaccurate, is redundant when applied to the Romulans. Every aspect of Romulan culture is effused with secrecy and deception, police included. The real Romulan Secret Police is the Zhat Vash, who are far older and supposedly use the Tal Shiar as a mask for their real mission to eliminate synthetic life-forms throughout the galaxy.

The highest ranking Blade in each province is referred to as The Spymaster and the Blades often engage in covert operations. Following the Great War, the Blades were decimated and a term of the White-Gold Concordat officially disbanded them. The survivors were forced to flee underground to avoid being ruthlessly hunted by the Thalmor. Since then, the Pentius Oculatus has risen up to replace them in service to the Emperor. Speaking of the Thalmor, this is one of their roles in Skyrim, mixed with, essentially, Church Police. One of the reasons everyone hates them so much is because they have a nasty habit of dragging off dissenters and making them disappear; a right they gained within Imperial territory from the Empire as part of the White-Gold Concordat to end the Great War no less. Their enforcement of the ban on Talos worship is one of the many motivating factors of the Stormcloaks in the Skyrim Civil War.

And dress like Men in Black. Another variant of theirs on the archetype is having only first names and a great variety in appearance and fighting style. They pulled at least one of their members out of an orphanage and trained her from childhood.

And please everyone note that these are the secret police not of a country, but of a power company. Though said company is the government. Before Crisis winds up being largely about being a rebel Turk faction trying to Screw The Rules And Do The Right Thing. Interestingly, the ringleader of this little caper, the stoic softy Tseng, is still head Turk during Advent Children, when Shinra has lost most of its control, and is one of Rufus Shinra's personal guards. The port city of Limsa Lominsa in Final Fantasy XIV has its own heroic version of Secret Police known as the Rogue's Guild. Formerly the Upright Thieves, the Rogue's Guild works directly under Admiral Merlwyb to uphold the original Pirate's Code from the shadows while the Maelstrom (military) and Yellowjackets (police) focus on other tasks.

In Season 2 they arrest Gertha, who's just 16, simply for objecting to her friend Marga having gotten recruited into the Lebensborn program. Threats by them against her parents get Gertha to give her teacher Herr Turtz up, who had counseled Marga's parents against it too. He doesn't blame her, clearly realizing what happened.

Also overlaps with State Sec. How secret their policing is can vary, considering some Inquisitors have become famous and well-known, but also depending on circumstances or an individual Inquisitor's preferred methods. While Inquisitor Lord Torquemada Coteaz maintains an extensive informant network throughout the Formosa Sector (said to be at least 2 in every 3 citizens), others such as Inquisitor Lord Fyodor Karamazov are more likely to descend on a planet with their own personal fleet and Chamber Militants. For more mundane dangers, there's the Adeptus Arbites. The Arbites deal with organised crime, sedition, rebellion, and everything else outside the jurisdiction or ability of the local police forces. Essentially, they are the MVD to the Inquisition's KGB. One source describes them as having "crystal lenses and sound wave detectors... that can watch citizens and listen to their conversations 100 leagues away, Imperial spy satellites watch what they can't see directly". And most shadowy of all is the Officio Assassinorum. Their forte is stealth and secrecy, and as well as external threats, the Officio Assassinorum often deals with rogue planetary governors. So capable is the Officio Assassinorum that one Grand Master of Assassins, Drakan Vangorich, used the temples to slay the other High Lords of Terra and take over the Imperium himself. It took 400 Space Marines to defeat his army of 100 Eversor Assassins and the battle left one lone Space Marine of the Imperial Fists standing to claim the Grand Master's head. Since this event, deployment of even a single Assassin requires the authorisation of at least two thirds of the High Lords of Terra, and the lasting distrust means the Space Marines have conspiracy theories about them, suspecting the Officio Assassinorum of responsibility for unexplained misfortunes such as the Crimson Fists' fortress monastery being destroyed by its own defence missile. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: Kislev, being a Fantasy Counterpart Culture based on Tzarist Russia, has them. They are not nice.

Secret Police / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Imperial Intelligence (military) and the Imperial Security Bureau (political) are the Empire's two main secret police organs, often at each other's throats. The latter is also State Sec (unsurprisingly, given its name) with special ISB stormtrooper units. The Emperor's Hands are a more informal version, Force-sensitive assassins who report directly to the Emperor, don't exist on any record, and serve as judge, jury and executioner. The Espos (Security Police) of the Corporate Sector Authority straddle the line between this and Dirty Cop. The Galactic Alliance Guard in the Legacy of the Force books, initially the Galactic Alliance's response to Corellian secessionist movements, quickly develops into this trope. In Fate of the Jedi, President Evil Daala used the Mandalorians as a covert "peacekeeping" force. Soon she starts doing it openly, and as a result nobody really complains when the Jedi remove her from power. A few smaller-scale examples at the planetary level, like Corellia's Public Safety Service, which is the secret police of the local Imperial government and its successor state after it goes independent. It was a replacement for Corellian Security Force (or CorSec), which was a regular law-enforcement organisation broadly comparable to the FBI or the French Gendarmerie with a close working relationship to the local Jedi sect. One of the heroes in the X-Wing Series, a former CorSec agent, is very bitter about what happened to the organisation.

Secret Police / int_e89f120b	comment	In Mobile Suit Gundam, we have the Principality of Zeon's Secret Service,note Does the acronym sound familiar? though they only exist in backstory. Their activities throughout Zeon's existence include killing off the Daikun family and their supporters to ensure the Zabis' rule, and disappearing One Year War protesters and suspected traitors (which is pretty much anyone they or the Zabis didn't like) in typical secret police fashion. Two of the side manga even describe how Side 3 suffered from rolling "blackouts", which in reality were whole neighborhoods being cleared out and left unpopulated; in other words, there was nobody left to turn houselights on over entire city blocks. Notably in the novels, Ramba Ral (of all people) was a member of the Secret Service instead of being the badass Gouf pilot we all know him for. As opposed to the Officer and a Gentleman he was in the TV/Movie series, he was more a Gihren loyalist here, such that he harbored shame over his father saving Zeon Zum Daikun's children from extermination.
