The Intelligence Team of the Police Affairs Department was specifically responsible for collecting, processing intelligence, and formulating action plans based on this information before handing them over to the Action Team for execution.

The members of the Police Affairs Department's Action Team immediately sprang into action.
A few rushed to Paris to make preparations. Thanks to the swift rail transport, they returned to the Palace of Versailles before nightfall.
