Although its predecessor, the [[National Salvation Committee]], was a {{wp|secret police}} force, the CPR has lacked a large domestic wing since its founding following deposition of the [[National Reclamation Government]] and the country's return to democracy in 1951. As it posseses limited law enforcement powers domestically, internal security now officially falls to the [[Department of State of the Cape|Department of State]] and the various provincial police departments. However, state security functions remains the sole domain of the CPR. It is the only agency of the federal government focusing on intelligence gathering, {{wp|counterintelligence}}, and state security functions. Today, the CPR is officially responsible for the security of the Cape state, cyber operations, fighting against organized crime, terrorism, and drug smuggling. It is estimated to employ over 100,000 people worldwide, with a considerable covert {{wp|special forces}} wing. | Although its predecessor, the [[National Salvation Committee]], was a {{wp|secret police}} force, the CPR has lacked a large domestic wing since its founding following deposition of the [[National Reclamation Government]] and the country's return to democracy in 1951.
