The Dutch National Police has a long and diverse history, having undertaken many major reforms in its history, the latest being in 2012 with the introduction of one police force. Below, you will find a timeline of the Dutch National Police's history. During the Second World War there was a Reichskommissar fur die Niederlande, Arthur Seyss-Inquart. The entire police force numbered about twenty thousand employees. After the war, this service was disbanded. To restore and control public order, the government decided to set up a new police organisation in November 1945. A distinction was made between the Gemeentepolitie (municipal police) for designated municipalities, and the Rijkspolitie (national police) for the rest of the country. This collection of shoulder flap, cap badges and uniform patch date back to circa 1950-70 and are in very good order. The price includes UK delivery. BA 900.
