there are criminals in every country

If criminals gain control of policing

On 17 June 1936, Hitler decreed the unification of all police forces in the Reich and named Himmler as Chief of German Police.^[10]This action effectively merged the police into the SS and removed it from Frick's control. Himmler was nominally subordinate to Frick as police chief, but as Reichsführer-SS, he answered only to Hitler. This move also gave Himmler operational control over Germany's entire detective force.^[11] The Gestapo became a national state agency rather than a Prussian state agency. Himmler also gained authority over all of Germany's uniformed law enforcement agencies, which were amalgamated into the new Ordnungspolizei (Orpo: Order Police), which became a national agency under SS general Kurt Daluege.^[10] Shortly thereafter, Himmler created the Kriminalpolizei (Kripo: Criminal Police), merging it with the Gestapo into the Sicherheitspolizei (SiPo: Security Police), under Heydrich's command. The SiPo was considered a complementary organization to the SD.^[3] Heinrich Müller was at that time the Gestapo operations chief.^[12] He answered to Heydrich; Heydrich answered only to Himmler and Himmler answered only to Hitler.
