The Special Protection Service (SPS) is a Lamonian law enforcement agency that provides protection to the President, government officials, and foreign dignitaries.
The Security Force Act (SFA) established a security force which is to be under the direct command of the President, and controlled and administered by a Director-General. The force may seek the assistance of other services, such as law enforcement agencies, paramilitary forces, defence and intelligence agencies, as needed to accomplish their mission.
The force was originally intended to “provide physical security,” both to the president wherever he may be and to VIPs (including any head of state or government or any person declared to be a VIP by the government). The SPS is now accountable to the President under the present democratic system and is given the power to “arrest without warrant… any person when there is reason to believe that the presence or movement of such person at or near the place where the president or a VIP is living or staying or through which he is passing or about to pass is prejudicial to the physical security of the president or such VIP; and if such person forcibly resists the endeavour to arrest him or attempts to evade arrest, such officer may use all means necessary to effect the arrest and may, if necessary and after giving such warning as may be appropriate in the circumstances of the case or otherwise so, use force against him as to cause death.” Such actions are subject to judicial review, after the fact. Suspects arrested under this power will also have their day in court, as guaranteed by Lamonian Law.
The wide and unfettered powers granted to the authorities above under the Security Force Act (SFA) enacted in 1986 are continually debated in judicial and legislative settings. SPS personnel are called Agents, who are selected and trained officers from the military, and National Police.
SPS is organized in various bureaus:
b.) Intelligence bureau
c.) Logistics bureau
d.) Training bureau
The main SPS office is located near the Lamonian Presidential Palace, in the Lamonian capital city of Nephi.
Responsibility
The mission of SPS is to provide physical security to the President, and any person designated as a VIP by the Government of the Free Republic of Lamoni. SPS takes necessary measures in coordination with civil administration, security, and intelligence organizations to protect VIPs from any threats, as well as preventing said threats when possible. SPS is also responsible for the security of VIPs’ offices and residences.
