The Guardia Civil is a military-style law enforcement agency in Spain with over 87,000 officers. It operates under the authority of both the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence. While its primary focus isn't space, the Guardia Civil is responsible for preventing smuggling, including defense and dual-use materials, throughout Spanish territory, territorial waters, and airspace. They also collaborate with other agencies in investigations related to customs, excise duties, and exchange control infractions.
