The Galactic Alliance Department of Public Protection functioned as the department under the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, tasked with overseeing domestic security specifically on the planet of Coruscant. Data was relayed to the department by the Coruscant Security Force.
A Gossam male named Gefal Keb worked as a high-ranking civil servant for this department. He passed along intelligence received from the Coruscant Security Force concerning Colonel Jacen Solo and the Galactic Alliance Guard to Admiral Cha Niathal.
Karen Traviss's novel Legacy of the Force: Sacrifice, which was released on May 29, 2007, marked the initial introduction of the Department of Public Protection.
