English Translation

-11- lizei would be united into a single guard corps and organized according to the principle of the old gendarmerie, so that only a unification of the management of the two enforcement corps, the elimination of rods, the freeing of forces and spaces would occur, but also an even more powerful possibility of use would be achieved. In any case, this uniform Kovps and, if no merger takes place, both corps, namely gendarmerie and police, under the overall term "Uniformed Protectorate Police" should be what de jure according to § 2 of the Act concerning the gendarme of l4.4.l920, Coll.d.Ges.u.Vo No.299, which is still fully in force today. This § reads: The gendarmerie /after the creation of the Corps of the Uniform Protectorate Police now the Uniformed Protectorate police/, is an organ of the political state administration, and is therefore subject to the political State authorities with regard to the exercise of the security service. With regard to training, teaching, discipline and control of service, and also in administrative and economic matters, the gendarmerie /now the Uniform Protectorate Police/ in the final instance is subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior. For the maintenance of military order and discipline in the gendarmerie corps /now corps of the uniformed protectorate police/ is assigned to the Ministry of the Interior of the General Commander General /now General Commander of the Uniformized Protectorate Police/. Only what the Minister of the Interior is under the responsibility of the Higher SS and Police Leader in Bohemia and Moravia and thus both the BdS and the BDO in relation to his police duties should be supplemented.Just as clearly as § 2, the essence, § 7 establishes the order relations in the sector of the use division. If this standard is adhered to, little at least in the sector of the Uniform Protectorate Police will immediately disappear any difficulties as always. However, if, for reasons which do not need to be discussed, efforts are being made to issue instructions for use in the technical sector, the result is a rather unpleasant mess at the moment, which does no good to any person and damages the cause infinitely. The training, instruction, discipline, control of the service, administrative and economic affairs has been carried out by the commander of the Uniform Protectorate Police with the police director, and by the Gendarmerieland commander. He is supervised by the inspector and both by the General Commander. The uniformed protectorate police, be it gendarmerie or police station corps, to use, concentrate or even use, is exclusively the responsibility of the administrative authorities, application orders must not be obtained either by the gendarme or the police, neither by the national gendarmes commander nor by the inspector of the uniformed protective police, but only by the district chief, state president or minister of the interior. The general commander is also not entitled to use orders.
