English Translation

-7- The situation arising in the area of the police system was by no means desirable, apart from the fact that a central territorial control of the entire police system by the district captain, and by the president of the state or by the minister of the interior, could not have taken place at all as an ideal state of every police operation. The creation of a unified leadership of the individual police divisions in the Reich and in the Protectorate sector was intended to meet the establishment of General Commanders and I,specteurs of the University and the Non-uniform Protectorate Police in June 1942 by the fact that the occupation in personnel union with the commanders of order police against. the security police at the Reichsprotektor, together with the heads of the criminal police in Prague and Brno and with the commanders of the police regiments in Bohemia and Moravia. In fact, this was a dissolution of the uniform and well-organized police executive of the Protectorate in an effort to bring the police closer to the empire. However, such alignment should in any case have been preceded by an in-depth examination of the necessity and usefulness. One such would have taught that the reorganization of the police of the Empire i.J.l936 and the police organization in the Protectorate i.j.l939 were political necessities which had to be lost by the establishment of a well-organized general administration. In the "ahre l942 these needs were no longer given in the autonomous administration of the Protectorate, which was organized in itself well-organized, because at that time German officials were appointed in all decisive places and precisely, when the word of unity of administration was spoken in every man's mouth, there was a dissolution and relaxation of an ideal organizational state in the most essential sector of the general administration of police. There is no objection to the establishment of the General Commanders and to the inspective of the uniformed and non-uniformed protectorate police only if they were only concerned with military or technical matters relating to the training of police executives and the technical management of the task ordered by the managing authority. If the material law of the police and the factual law of instruction lies exclusively with the political authorities, then it also does not matter whether an installation in the administrative apparatus of the Ministry of the Interior or not follows the national authorities. The fact is, however, that the general commanders, who are still mentioned in the decrees of the Ministry of the Interior of 29 June 1942, number Pol.2l40 - 28/6 / V 42/3 as general commander in the ministry of the interior, have gained a certain degree of independence in the course of development and today not as ministry of interior, but as general commandant of uniforms.
