The Corellian Security Force, commonly abbreviated CorSec, was the primary police/law enforcement organization on Corellia. CorSec trained the future Jedi Knight Corran Horn in law enforcement tactics.

[edit] History
Not much was known about the operations of CorSec; it presumably operated as a regular law enforcement agency. There was a false, but persistent, myth that all CorSec officers were given quotas of traffic tickets to hand out. New recruits trained at the CorSec Academy, and it was headquartered at One CorSec Plaza. Tactical Response Team was an elite paramilitary branch of CorSec, and it had its own Intelligence service. CorSec also had its own Smuggling Interdiction Division and Animal Control Division.
The Corellian Security Force was an extremely self-sufficient organization, though during the reign of the Galactic Empire, Kirtan Loor was an Imperial Intelligence liaison with the organization. During that time the goals of CorSec matched those of the Empire, which included hunting down slicers, terrorists and Rebels. During the Great Jedi Purge, CorSec also aided Darth Vader and his agents in tracking down and hunting Jedi.
CorSec employed agents of many skills, including computer experts, technicians, commandos, security guards, diplomats and snipers. The agency was extremely efficient, and few criminals were able to operate for extended periods of time on Corellia before a CorSec agent would infiltrate the organization.
Undercover officers were allowed to participate in crimes against property, but could not aid in or even allow crimes against people. All undercover agents were told that they did not have to do anything they morally or philosophically objected to.
In 7 ABY it was dissolved upon order of Diktat Daclif Gallamby, and the new Public Safety Service (PSS) was formed to replace it. However, by the time of the Yuuzhan Vong War it had been reconstituted, possibly after Thrackan Sal-Solo became governor-general. In the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War it was under the control of the Ministry of War.
The most commonly known weapon used by CorSec were CDEF pistols, and sometimes CDEF rifles and carbines.
[edit] Behind the scenes
It can be inferred that CorSec is influenced by the New York City police department because of the following: The NYPD is said to have unofficial quotas for tickets. CorSecs Headquarters is One CorSec Plaza which is strikingly close to One Police Plaza located in the City Hall area of NYC. The tactics of undercover CorSec agents are similar to those used by units of the NYPD.
