The '''Security Service''', also known as the '''Satavian Security Service''', or by it's initials '''SV''' and in certain circumstances '''SSPBI'''<ref>'SSPBI' were the initials of the Satavian Surveillance, Policing & Bureau of Investigations</ref>, is the domestic {{wpl|Inteligence_service|Inteligence}} and {{wpl|Security_service|Security}} service of [[Satavia]]. The Security Service's {{wpl|Counter-terrorism|Counter Terrorism wing}} is the primary defensive line to combat and prevent terrorism in Satavia. The Security Service was formed in 2015 by the merger of the [[Satavian Surveillance, Policing & Bureau of Investigations]] and the [[Provincial Counter Terrorism Unit (PCTU)]]. 

The Security Service is known to have around 2,500 employees, including agents, police attachments and civilian administrators. The Security Service's budget is not disclosed by the [[Satavia|Satavian Government]], but has been estimated at around five hundred million [[Satavia|Satavian Guilders]]. 

==Organisation, Budget and the Director-General==
The Security Service is, by law, directly answerable to the Minister for Home Affairs, but in practice answers to the [[Prime Minister of Satavia|Prime Minister]]. The identity of all agents barring the Director-General and Deputy Director are official {{wpl|state_secret|State Secrets}}. The Service's budget is not disclosed under the [[Home Regulations Act, 1972]]. 

The Security Service is run by the Director-General, who, since 2019 has been Daan Scheff. The post is typically held for three years, and candidates are picked from the Police Forces and the Satavian Defence Force. There is no way to apply, instead, an interview is invite-only. The job has been labelled by the [[Hope Post]] as 'The most lucrative job in the country'. The salary of the Director-General is not usually disclosed, however, the Director-General is given a House, Car and paid for schooling. In a book released by former a former agent, it is claimed that the Director-General was paid more than the Prime Minister and alleged serious breaches of power and jurisdiction by the Security Service. An injunction order was placed on the book and its contents in Satavia after the Government failed to stop the book from being published in the landmark case ''[[Satavia v. Anders]]''. The book was released online and leaked to foreign journalists, resulting in a public uproar and the resulting court case ''[[The People v. The Security Service]]'' in 2018.

==History==
The Security Service was founded in 2015 under the [[Security Service (Merger & Consolidation) Act 2015]]. It merged the previously independent Satavian Surveillance, Policing & Bureau of Investigations, which specialised in Counter-espionage and operated as a civilian police agency, with the [[Provincial Counter Terrorism Unit (PCTU)]], which specialised in counter-terrorism.

The Service has had three directors since its foundation. Satavian Army Colonel James Greggor was picked to lead the force at the beginning of its life as a caretaker administrator, and was then replaced by [[R. P. van de Velt]], who, after three years as Director-General was replaced by the incumbent Daan Scheff in 2019.

==Facilities==
Initially based at the old headquarters of the SSPBI, they moved into their current headquarters in central [[Port Hope]] in 2017. The Security Service also has numerous field offices around the country, and other facilities, including facilities deemed state secrets.
