Reorganization of the Romanian Intelligence Service into regions

9 October 2019

Starting with September 1, 2019 the Romanian Intelligence Service was reorganized into regions.

Territorial units are no longer county-organized; 11 regional intelligence directorates (DRI) were created, each of them having legal powers over several counties:

• DRI Moldova North, responsible for the counties of Iaşi (main office), Botoşani, Neamț, Suceava and Vaslui;
• DRI Moldova South, responsible for the counties of Galați (main office), Bacău, Brăila, Buzău and Vrancea;
• DRI Dobrogea, responsible for the counties of Constanța (main office), Călăraşi, Ialomița and Tulcea;
• DRI Bucharest, responsible for Bucharest (main office), as well as the counties of Ilfov and Giurgiu;
• DRI Muntenia, responsible for the counties of Prahova (main office), Argeş, Dâmbovița and Teleorman;
• DRI Oltenia, responsible for the counties of Dolj (main office), Gorj, Olt, Mehedinți and Vâlcea;
• DRI Center, responsible for the counties of Braşov (main office), Covasna, Harghita and Mureş;
• DRI Transylvania South, responsible for the counties of Sibiu (main office), Alba and Hunedoara;
• DRI Banat, responsible for the counties of Timiş (main office), Arad and Caraş-Severin;
• DRI Transylvania West, responsible for the counties of Cluj (main office), Bihor and Sălaj;
• DRI Maramureş, responsible for the counties of Maramureş (main office), Satu-Mare and Bistrița-Năsăud.

The reorganization solution was validated based on a pilot testing process which was carried out in 2018.

The Service will maintain its presence and will continue to fulfill its missions throughout the territory of Romania, as the new structure is meant to provide the institutional framework needed to adapt the Service’s activity to the current threat dynamics. Likewise, the Service’s reorganization into regions is aimed at optimizing the flow of information sent to the legal beneficiaries.
