The Bureau of State Protection is the direct institutional continuation of the Commission of Public Safety that existed under the military regime for the entirety of the post-imperial era. After 1992 [[Linge Chen]] and the [[Party of Corummese Democrats]] renamed the commission and began transferring members of the PCD's organization department into leadership positions at the renamed bureau. A partial purge ensued with many agents perceived as unreliable being disappeared. For those that remained of the pre-1992 structure, Party membership became mandatory. The influx of ideologically motivated agents into the organization resulted in a more brutal approach being used on security matters as exemplified by one of its first official actions, Operation Brakion. Whereas the Committee of Public Safety might have simply arrested or condemned [[Shen Doik]] to internal exile, the BSP determined that he be humilliated and executed in brutal fashion. | The Bureau of State Protection is the direct institutional continuation of the Commission of Public Safety that existed under the military regime for the entirety of the post-imperial era.
