Internal Security Department
BISD's role is monitoring and reporting to the Government on internal
security issues. For BISD, 'security' means the protection from harm
caused by:
- Espionage : Espionage is defined as an "attempt to
acquire government classified information illegally in order to assist
a foreign power or government or to further a subversive aim". A
subversive aim means either to undermine or embarrass the Government
or to pass on damaging information to a foreign country.
- Politically motivated violence.
- Sabotage : sabotage is defined as "an act (or an
ommission), intended to cause physical damage to plants, buildings,
equipment or other targets, whether civil or military, in order to
assist a foreign power to further a political aim".
- Terrorism : that is the use of violence and intimidation in
the furtherance of a political aim.
- Promotion of a racial and religious violence.
