- Ministry of Citizen Protection (Greece)
-
The Ministry of Citizen Protection (Greek: Υπουργείο Προστασίας του Πολίτη) is a government department of Greece responsible for the running of the country's security services, i.e. the Hellenic Police, the Hellenic Fire Service, the Hellenic Coast Guard, the Greek Agrarian Police, the Secretariat for Civil Defense, and the National Intelligence Service. The current minister is Christos Papoutsis.
The ministry was established in 2009 and is a revival of the old Ministry of Public Order (Greek: Υπουργείο Δημόσιας Τάξης), which had been merged with the Ministry of the Interior in 2007 and reduced to a General Secretariat within the Ministry of the Interior and Public Order.
