The ISD was created to replace the Royal Brunei Police's Special Branch division, which was disbanded on August 1, 1993.[4]

In 2011, Tobishima Corporation was the contractor responsible for completing the Latifudin Complex Tungku Link in Rimba.[5]

Roles

The ISD is in charge of cases that involve subversion, espionage, sabotage, terrorism and promotion of racial/religious violence.[6] However, the ISD collaborates with the Royal Brunei Police Force to maintain internal security.[7]

The ISD has its headquarters at Jalan Utama Mentiri with branch offices in Tutong, Belait and Temburong.[8]
