19 German police regiments of Bohemia and Moravia in these countries as inspectors of the "Uniformed Protectorate Police". They guarantee the uniform orientation of the 3 uni-cycled police divisions in their area and are at the same time required to comply with the instructions of the state presidents regarding the police. The organisation of the gendarmerie is maintained in general. Only the 17 departments of the Gendarmium, which had existed so far, are dissolved and from them 3 mot. Gend. readinesss are created according to the pattern of the old kingdom. As national commanders of the genedarmrie in Bohemia and Moravia 2 people's German officers are employed. The organization of the government police is currently being organized. The Pol.-Reviere are united with the previously completely isolated air protection services and equipped with powers and tasks according to the model of the Altreich. The Rev. Chiefs, the Deputy Commanders and the local commanders of the "Uniformed Government Police" are created an independent and responsible position. They are freed from an inappropriate dependence on the Pol. jurists. From time to time study commissions from Pol. officers are assembled, who in the Old Reich get to know the modern German police. The first commission has already spent 8 days in Silesia. For the reconstruction of the municipal police the legal basis is created by the government decree of 9 July. The municipal leaders are appointed as local police administrators. In each place over 5 Ooo inhabitants a uniform police executive under the leadership of an officer or Rev. officer is to be established. The municipal police are gradually to be brought to an efficient state, which enables the gendarmerie to withdraw from the cities and fulfil its actual tasks in the countryside. 3.) Urgent tasks for the next future: Better pay for the entire prot. police.
