Department of Security

"The Dept. of Security will release a 'self-defence spell guide' next week."

- Daily Prophet headline after the January, 1996 mass breakout from Azkaban Prison.

The Department of Security is a department of the Ministry of Magic. It is probably a sub-division of another department, most likely the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and is responsible for the implementation of wizarding Great Britain defence policy. It is possible that their headquarters is located on level eight in the Security Office.
