Its role is to gather information relevant to national security and hand it over to relevant institutions, such as Romanian Government , presidency and law enforcement departments and agencies. It operates predominately within Romanian territory but also outside national borders in collaboration with other states specifically to target cross-border threats.
However, despite ambitions, the various government entities and associated municipal governance structures were not set up in a way which allowed for national, collective intelligence services. The Peasants Revolt in highlighted critical gaps in oversight, specifically in the ability to ascertain with certainty the motives behind the revolt and whether any foreign elements were involved in the events.
Among its responsibilities of leading judicial and law enforcement matters nationally, it would also occupy itself with gathering intelligence pertaining to events and offences with a political footprint.
In a bid to correct the gaps of the past, police infrastructure was reorganised with regional brigades in each municipal capital.
Funded centrally and with a focus on gathering information pertaining to the security of state borders, a key distinguishing feature was the complete independence from regional politics thereby ensuring a stable and organised entity.
