The agency was was tasked with providing protection to airports, federal buildings, and federal witnesses. The VFP's Community Policing Division (CPD) ceased operations in 1968 following the creation of the Kurilsk Territorial Police, who took over responsibility to police [[Kurilsk Territory]]. The VFP added an elite tactical team, the [[Special Intervention Unit]], intended for hostage rescue and counterterrorism in 1978.
During the administration of [[Matvei Lukyanov]], the Skopa Special Police Unit (Skopa) was formed by presidential decree which took over certain duties from the VFP in what analysts at the time called a "significant declawing of fair policing." Skopa units quickly began gaining notoriety for their use of illegal activities against Volkian citizens including {{Wp|racketeering}}, {{Wp|terrorism}}, {{Wp|physical violence}}, {{Wp|torture}}, and {{Wp|voter intimidation}}.

Mikhail Yurevich succeeded Lukyanov as president following [[Impeachment of Matvei Lukyanov|Lukyanov's impeachment in 1971]], and signed into law the Reforming Volkian Federal Law Enforcement Act, which disbanded Skopa units nationwide and returned all roles to the VFP.
