The Superior Police Corps (Spanish: Cuerpo Superior de Policía, CSP) was a law enforcement force of Spain created during the Spanish transition to democracy and predecessor of the present-day National Police Corps. It was also known colloquially as "the Secret Police" or simply "the Secret".[1] They came to be called contemptuously (especially within the police circles) "the badges", by the way they identified themselves by showing their badge.
