Secret du roi, literally 'King's secret.' Some would have said spies, I suppose but it was more than that.
So not law enforcement, though domestically there was a little bit of trying to find lawbreakers, investigating and sometimes getting a warrant. My brother did more of that than I did. Louis XV, who is in God's grace, usually preferred sending me out of the country.
