Generální velitel uniformované protektorátní policie, Praha

The most valuable records are those of Department Ia, which include important documents for the study of administrative history, particularly the organization of the Protectorate police and gendarmerie. Special attention should be given to reports on the use of firearms and to files concerning the security arrangements in Panenské Břežany and Dobříš. The collection also contains, among other things, documents related to the establishment of Jewish assembly camps (inventory no. 167, box 15) and to declarations of non-Jewish origin (inventory no. 314, box 50). A decree of the Reich Protector ordered the reorganisation of all Protectorate police and gendarmerie units on 1 July 1942. The offices of commanders-general of the uniformed and non-uniformed Protectorate police were established at the Ministry of the Interior. The Office of the General Commander of the Uniformed Protectorate Police (Generalkommandant der uniformierten Protektoratspolizei) was created by merging the V. (Police) Department of the Ministry of the Interior with the General Command of the Gendarmerie. This brought together all the components of the Protectorate uniformed police, i.e. the gendarmerie, the municipal executive police and the government police, under one command, which also included the fire brigade. In Bohemia and Moravia, offices of inspectors of the uniformed Protectorate police were established as subordinate bodies.
