 | | The term survived in common usage, however, and was most often used by local security force commanders who adopted the title Inspektor des Sicherheitspolizei und SD. | | | By 1933, the organization was known as the SD-Amt and, in 1934, became the basis for the official state security organization of the Sicherheitspolizei. | | | Such personnel typically had command over all SD, Gestapo, Kripo, and Orpo units in their area of responsibility and performed duties befitting a modern day Chief of Police. |
