civilian national security force

A president's personal gestapo or stasi-like police force, used to intimidate the populace in general and terrorize opponents.

To my astonishment, the president actually said: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
