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).
