The Special Investigative Service is umbrella organisation in the United Kingdom of Malgrave which is primarily tasked with coordinating the activities of the three major intelligence services in the country. Prior to the election of Nadzieja Brzezicki it held significantly more power over the country, however, these powers have been curtailed by recent reforms sparked by recent revelations of historic abuse by the intelligence agency.
History
On the 3rd of December 1938 the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of State Security released a report on the failed assassination of Prime Minister Jozef Wajda, and several other attacks and high profile military defections that led to the outbreak of the Malgravean civil war
The report focused its attention on interservice rivalries and claimed that this infighting, poor communication and a misunderstanding of the appropriate chain of command led directly to the assassination plot almost becoming a reality, and failed to stop the mass defections from the military that led to the creation of the Patriotic Front and the establishment of the National Workers Republic.
In response to this report the Wajda Administration passed the Intelligence Service Modernisation and Reorganisation Act of 1938 and officially merged the Political Protection Service, the Internal Security Division and the International Operations Committee to form the Special Investigative Service. It also passed the National Security and Stabilisation Act of 1938, an act that authorised the deployment of the Territorial Defence Force on national soil and permitted the SIS to gather military intelligence alongside the TDF while on internal operations.
In the early days of the civil war the SIS was primarily dedicated to gathering military intelligence, protecting high ranking officials from assassination and running counter-intelligence operations against the intelligence services of the separatist republics, but following the successful completion of the Epping-Rensk Agreement and the force dissolution of the NWR the SIS focused its attentions on eliminating various terrorist cells across the country.
In 2018, the newly appointed Prime Minister Nadzieja Brzezicki began to continue work on earlier proposed reforms to the intelligence apparatus, however, evidence on this point was in low supply which had historically hampered efforts on this front. In spite of these issues efforts continued, and following on from evidence obtained from overseas sources work began on splitting up the Special Investigative Service into it's pre-war formations.
Operations
It has been claimed that the SIS provided key information that led to the successful completion of Operation Tempest but due to current laws surrounding confidentiality that hasn't been confirmed by the military, SIS or the government.
In recent years it's also been reported that the SIS has coordinated with similar intelligence agencies in the Dornalian Republic, Kouralia and Rohane Alista, an allegation that has been confirmed by authorities in the Dornalian Republic and by spokespeople working for the Ministry of State Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The SIS now serves as an umbrella organisation to coordinate intelligence work.
