Police forces of Nazi Germany

There were three constituents of the police forces of the Third Reich:


 * Ordnungspolizei (Orpo) "regular police"
 * Kriminalpolizei (Kripo) "criminal police"
 * Sicherheitspolizei (Sipo) "security police"

In 1942 the Sipo and Kripo were amalgamated to form the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA).
