Secret Intelligence Service

The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), commonly known as MI6, is the United Kingdom's foreign intelligence service. Its primary role is to gather and analyze information about foreign governments, organizations, and individuals to protect the UK's national security. MI6 operates covertly, using spies and various means to collect intelligence that informs government decisions and strategies. Unlike the police, which handles law enforcement domestically, MI6 focuses on international threats and espionage. It works closely with other intelligence agencies, both within the UK and internationally, to stay ahead of potential risks and support national interests.
