The National Intelligence Service (French: Service national de renseignement, or SNR) is the state intelligence agency of Burundi. The SNR is headed by an administrator-general (administrateur général) who reports directly to the President of Burundi, while its individual agents report both to the SNR hierarchy and the public prosecutor.[1] It runs its own detention facilities and is separate from the National Police of Burundi (Police nationale du Burundi, PNB) and the National Defence Force (Force de defense nationale, FDN).
