Default MH Organization acronym help?

So I'm working on a monster hunter type campaign set in 1946. The PC's are part of a clandestine unit investigating supernatural threats. This unit is ostensibly part of the newly formed CDC, in particular the Special Pathogens Branch. I'd like to come up with a catchy acronym. Starting with SP (for Special Pathogens) would suggest specter/spectre or spook but I'm coming up blank. Help?

Ha! Love it...

How about, for starting with SP:

Special Pathogen Investigations (SPI)
Special Pathogen Observations and Control (SPOC)
Special Pathogen Acquisitions and Control (SPAC)
Special Pathogen Albuquerque Yard (SPAY) - replace the A-city with another A-city, if needed.

I just keep thinking about the pilot for Agents of SHIELD:

"What does S.H.I.E.L.D. stand for, Agent Ward?"

"Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."

"And what does that mean to you?"

"It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'."

From Monster Hunters International (Correia):

STFU: Special Task Force Unicorn. (A plausible deniability name, since no-one believes in Unicorns.)
