The State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) (Bosnian Croatian Serbian: Državna agencija za istrage i zaštitu SIPA Cyrillic script: Државна агенција за истрагу и заштиту СИПА) is the official state police agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. SIPA is under the direct administration of the Ministry of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH MIS). SIPA is vital to the security of Bosnia and Herzegovina because most other police forces are divided among ethnic lines.
