The Special Security Force (Bengali: স্পেশাল সিকিউরিটি ফোর্স, romanized: Spēśāla siki'uriṭi phōrsa; abbreviated as SSF) is a Bangladeshi law enforcement agency that provides protection to the President, Prime Minister[1][2] and the Chief Adviser[3] as well as any person designated as a VVIP as per state protocol, including visiting foreign dignitaries.

[13] Members of the SSF are referred to as Agents, and are officers from the Bangladesh Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, Ansar and the Village Defence Party.

Following restoration of the parliamentary system, it was renamed the Special Security Force, whose primary function is to protect the prime minister, the president and other VIPs.

[15] The wide and unfettered powers granted to the authorities above under the Special Security Force Ordinance (SSFO) enacted in 1986 are exacerbated by Section 11, which prevents prosecutions for such acts without government sanction.

On 29 August 2024, the interim government issued an ordinance revoking this law providing special security privileges to the family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, under which it was enacted in 2009 and 2021.
