The Department of Social Maintenance ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: Departament della manteniment societal (DMS)), colloquially called ''{{wpl|Frumentarii|Les Frumentarie}}'', was a secret police force of the newly formed nation of [[Burgundie]] in the late 19th century through its dissolution in the [[Levantine Union|Levantine Union Treaty]] in [[1954]]. While the [[National Constabulary of Burgundie]], the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie]], and [[Revenue Guard]] concerned themselves with the enforcement of civil statues, the DMS was created chiefly to combat influences of [[Derian people]] at the conclusion of the [[First Fratricide]]. It later morphed into a general force to suppress anti-social and revolutionary forces.

Despite being disbanded in [[1954]] a lasting vestige of the DMS lives on in the [[Burgoignesc language#Academia%20Burgones|Academia Burgoignesc]] and the [[National Gendarmerie of Burgundie|Gendarmerie's Observation and Treaty Corps]] ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Corps d’Observacion e Tractes'').
