Security Police) , 1. e. the Gestapo and. the..KriPo.
There are two distinct categories of Schutzha.ft (Protective

Allowing Vorbeugende Polizeihaft (Preventive Police
Custody of Habitual Criminals).
Individuals falling into the above categories are committed
• to conoentration camps as police prisonèrs.
The Kriminal-polizei (Kripo, or Criminal Police) - Ant V of the
Reichssicherheitahmiptamt and,its branches and sub-branches - may
place an individual in Vorbeugende Polizeihaft (Preventive Police
Custody) up to a. period of twenty one days. If, however, it is
desired to hold. the individual in custody beyond this period,
application to place the individual in Vorbeugungshaft (Preventive
Custody) must be made to the Reichskriminalpolizeiamt (RICPA, or
Central .Office of Reich Criminal Police) not later than the tenth

Staat (Emergency Order of the Reich President for the Protection
of People and. State) of 28 Feb 1933, the basic laws of the Weimar
Constitution and, speci.41.cally, the-right of personal freedom were
suspended. The suspension of this right, along with an order of
the Reich Minister of the Interior dated 25 Jan 1938, form the
basis of Politische Schutzhaft.
- The purpose of Politische Schutzhaft is, in general, tO secure
the Reich structure against its enemies, and. it may be ordered by
Amt IV A 6 b, against individuals whose behaviour endangers this
security. This type of custody is not enforced as a punitive
measure nor does it - replace punishment. Punitive measures are
decided by the courts.
