The collection's contents are described in three inventories, which are arranged by structure. Within the structural divisions, files are catalogued for the most part by document type. The collection is a consolidated archival collection. It consists of heterogeneous documentary materials of police offices in Germany and the German-occupied territories of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and the Soviet Union. The collection also includes documents of German police services in the occupied territory of the Soviet Union, including the Ukraine and Belorussia. The collection contains minutes of official meetings; bulletins, reports, overviews, dispatches, and summaries; correspondence, personnel files, and personnel lists of police offices and police entities; minutes of interrogations, investigative files, and "wanted" lists; and leaflets. Documents of German police and administrative offices in German-occupied territories also include orders and edicts of Heinrich Himmler and other high-ranking SS and police officials on establishing police offices and services (including in the occupied territory of the Soviet Union) and appointing staff. Documents in the collection include orders by Security Police and SD chiefs in the Ukraine, Belorussia, the Caucasus, and the Baltics for 1941-43; overviews of the military and economic situation in the occupied territories of the Ukraine, the Caucasus, and Belorussia; correspondence of Security Police and SD officers in the Caucasus and Belorussia for 1942; and dispatches of the heads of Secret Field Police (GFP) formations.
