The Federal Office of Police (Fedpol)[1]Template:Efn of Switzerland is subject to the Federal Department of Justice and Police. It is responsible for the coordination between cantonal police corps and between Swiss and foreign police forces. It also controls the Swiss internal intelligence agency, Dienst für Analyse und Prävention (DAP; Analysis and Prevention Service) prior to being transferred to the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport in 2008.[2] and investigates organised crime, money laundering and terrorism.[1]
Fedpol publishes a yearly report on domestic security. Its investigative arm is the Federal Criminal Police, which operates a small special operations unit—Task Force TIGRIS—whose existence was not made public until 2009.
