List of secret police organizations

This is a list of current secret police organizations. Fictional secret police organizations and historical secret police organizations are listed on their own respective pages.

The organizations in this list have been alleged to have the characteristics of a secret police organization: operating without judicial oversight and other accountability mechanisms. In some cases, the status of the organization as a "secret police" organization may be debated.
