The Special Intelligence Group[3][4][5] (Spanish: Grupo Especial de Inteligencia, GEIN)[6] was an elite unit of the National Police of Peru created within its National Directorate Against Terrorism with the purpose of locating and capturing the leadership bodies of terrorist groups operating since 1980: the Shining Path and the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.

This unit is historically remembered for having carried out the capture of Shining Path leader Abimael Guzmán, who was arrested along with part of his central committee on September 12, 1992. After this, it was dissolved on October 3, 1993, becoming the Regional Terrorism Investigation Department 1 (Spanish: Departamento de Investigación de Terrorismo Regional 1, DITER 1).[7] For their work, the group's former members have been declared "Heroes of Democracy" since 2017.[6]

The group is featured in the 2017 Peruvian film The Last Hour.[8]
