LEPRecon
From Artemis Fowl
LEPRecon is the reconnaissance division of the Lower Elements Police (LEP) in the fictional Artemis Fowl, written by Eoin Colfer. In the underground world of the People, most reconnaissance entails tracking down fairies who wander where they shouldn't, particularly away from the secret fairy civilization of Haven and onto the surface of the Earth.
The main advantage held by the fairies in general and LEP in specific is a more advanced technology. They use this technology to escape notice by humans, called Mud Men by the fairies and considered a nascent threat to their civilization. The main duty of LEPRecon often involves containing and erasing any knowledge of fairies that humans gain. The department has been established for centuries, and LEPRecon is implied in the story as the origin of the human word leprechaun.
