The PRCO (Ostro-Ludzic: Primarnă Reditelstvă pro Civilnă Ochrana, tr. Prime Directorate for Civil Protection) was the primary security agency of the Prime Republic of Ostrozava from 1941 to 2020. As a direct successor of the preceding Council for Informational Warfare (RIV), the PRCO was ostensibly subservient to the Prime Defense Council, itself mediated by members from every branch of government, including the Primar. A monolithic intelligence apparatus, its main responsibilities were domestic intelligence, foreign intelligence, counter-intelligence, operative-investigatory activities, and organization and security of government communications. Although formerly able to exert its power as a secret police force, the Bartoș-Nabornek Act of 1969 formally ended its ability to bypass legal rights enshrined in the Ostrozavan Social Contract, while also placing the agency under the jurisdiction of the newly-created Prime Defense Council. Despite repeated attempts at regulation, the PRCO maintained a reputation as exercising judicial power, often at the expense of Ostrozavan human rights law and basic freedoms.
In 2020, the Volf disclosures revealed that the PRCO had been involved in various nefarious and clandestine actions in the 20th century, most recently the creation and funding of the International Democratic Revolution. Interim Director Valdemar Rezek was murdered in September of 2020, launching an investigation that resulted in the indictment of six out of nine supreme court justices. The PRCO was subsequently dissolved on the 31st of December 2020 at the behest of the Král administration.
Domestically, the PRCO's reign as a brutal secret police force is generally associated with the Socialist-party-led Second Party Compact which ended after liberalization in 1957; the PRCO's brazen use of intimidation tactics on law-abiding citizens has long colored the agency both domestically and internatonally with a reputation of underhandedness and immorality. The agency is often considered to be a paramilitary service in the vein of the Ostrozavan Civil Guard. While most of its historical and current activities have remained enigmatic to the public eye, sporadic leaks of data, and two Prime-Government-mandated releases of information have kept the agency semi-transparent in the eyes of the media.
