The Norwegian Police Security Service is the Norwegian national security service. PST Headquarters is located in Oslo, and local offices in all police districts outside Oslo. There are 27 police districts in Norway, including Oslo Police District.
PST is part of the Norwegian police service, and a significant proportion of our employees are police officers and police prosecutors. Representatives of other disciplines also work at PST, and the diversity in our workforce reflects our highly complex remit.
Our workforce includes political scientists, social anthropologists, language graduates, historians, economists and engineers.
The senior management team at PST is based at PST Headquarters in Oslo. Our activities are co-ordinated from the Headquarters, which is in close contact with PST offices throughout the rest of country.
The PST that exists today represents a workforce and remit that reflects the Service’s historical development. Our service has a long history, and lessons learned from this history are applied in our endeavours to continually improve in fulfilling the duties assigned to us by the Norwegian Parliament and Government.
