As the national intelligence service, PET operates under very special circumstances where confidentiality surrounding the work methods, capabilities, operations and sources of PET and our partners is absolutely essential. Due to confidentiality considerations, PET is often unable to comment on a case or confirm or invalidate certain information in public. However, we seek to ensure openness about our work whenever possible.
