The General Commissariat of Judiciary Police (Spanish: Comisaría General de Policía Judicial, CGPJ) is an intelligence service within the National Police Corps of Spain responsible for the investigation of organized crime, economic and monetary crimes or cybercrime. CGPJ is also in charge of investigating drug trafficking, gambling control and collecting intelligence for the police corps.

The CGPJ was created in 1958 as General Commissariat of Criminal Investigation (CGIC)[3] and renamed as General Commissariat of Judiciary Police in 1978.[4]
