PST is the national security service of Norway. We prevent and investigate offences against the security and independence of the State. PST is a specialist body within the police.
All of PST's activities are regulated as duties assigned by the Norwegian Parliament pursuant to the Police Act. The Ministry of Justice has laid down a Code of Practice specifically for The Norwegian Police Security Service, which provides further details of our remit and the way in which our duties are to be carried out. Beyond this, the Government and Ministry of Justice are tasked with setting the priorities for the Service.
