The '''Society for the Containment of the Paranormal''' ('''SCP'''; Latin: ''Societas Continentia Paranormalis''), commonly known as '''PARACON''', is an [[international organization]] that seeks to contain and analyze [[SCP Foundation|anomalous]] and [[paranormal]] phenomena. Headquartered in the secretive [[SCP Foundation|Site-01]], it is the world's largest international paranormal investigative organization, with over twelve sites worldwide and an undisclosed number of outposts in all 195 UN member states.

Paracon was conceived during the [[SCP Foundation|2027 anomaly crisis]], during which world governments convened to deliver a public and effective means of combating malicious anomalous influences, while analyzing their properties for future uses. It was founded on February 18, 2028 as the '''Supernatural Containment Protective''' ('''SCP'''), and adopted many of its current duties throughout the 2030s. In 2031, the Protective adopted a new constitution and the name Paracon, derived from its [[telegraphic address]] used since 2028.

Paracon is divided into different branches, all tackling different aspects of paranormal phenomena, while also seeking to contain any disruptive anomalies to preserve a "veil of near-normalcy". The organization also facilitates cooperation among national anomaly research institutions through anomaly databases and communications networks. Contrary to popular belief, Paracon is actually a foundation.

Paracon has an annual budget of $23.2 trillion, most of which comes from annual contributions by the United Nations' 195 member countries. It is governed by an Overseer Council, headed by an elected Administrator (currently [[SCP Foundation|Jayne W. Peters]] of the [[United Kingdom]]) to supervise and implement Paracon's policies and administration. Day-to-day operations are carried out by the Central Committee, comprising around 100,000 personnel from over 100 countries, including both the Society's mobile task forces, researchers, and undercover civilians. The Committee is led by the Deputy Administrator, currently [[Jürgen Stock|Gareth Andrews]], the former head of the American [[SCP Foundation|Anomalous Secure Containment Initiative]].

Pursuant to its [[Constitution|charter]], Paracon seeks to remain [[Politically Neutral|politically neutral]] in fulfilling its mandate, and thus commits to containing worldwide anomalies, no matter the country or type.
