The State Protection and Guard Service of Moldova (Romanian: Serviciul de Protecție și Pază a Republicii Moldova, abbreviated SPPS) is a Moldovan independent government agency and institution which has the duty of protecting government officials, as well as foreign dignitaries, and their relatives.
