 The DIGOS, which has an Office in each provincial headquarters, or "Questura", of the Polizia di Stato acts as its Intelligence branch.Through "general investigations" aimed at having a constant eye on the evolution on national soil of social unrest, political underground movements and sports-related violent phenomena the DIGOS periodically reports to the Minister of Interior and to the Head of Police.Such activity is strongly assisted by the peculiar and specially trained infiltration units belonging to DIGOS that constantly enrich such reports and investigations with "inside views" of the various phenomena (hence the "special operations" part of the acronym "General Investigations and Special Operations Division" or DIGOS).
