The Federal Office of Police (Fedpol) 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.

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.
