Organization

As Denmark's national security and intelligence service, PET works to identify, prevent, investigate and counter threats to the freedom, democracy and security of Danish society. PET lies within the remit of the Danish Ministry of Justice, and the Director General of PET reports directly to the Minister of Justice. PET’s top management consists of the Director General of PET, the Director of Operations, the Director of Legal Affairs and the Director of Administration. In addition, PET’s Management Board comprises the Heads of the Counterterrorism Department, the Intelligence Collection Department, the Counterintelligence Department, the Security Department and SIOC (Strategic Information and Operations Centre). Centre for Terror Analysis (CTA) is a fusion centre comprising staff from four Danish authorities (PET, the Danish Defence Intelligence Service, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Emergency Management Agency). CTA provides analyses and assessments of the terrorist threat to Denmark and Danish interests abroad.
