The Police Prefecture functioned in Odessa during the German-Romanian occupation of the city (October 1941 through January 1944), when it was the administrative center of the Governorate of Transnistria ; it was under the command of the governor and comprised ten police precincts (the first, second, and ninth precincts being located in the city center). Police organs consisted of a criminal department and a department of the Siguranţă. Their functions included the maintenance of the occupation regime, transportation requisition, mobilizing citizens for forced labor, etc. Inventories in the fonds are systematized according to the structural-chronological principle. Included (f. R-2353, f.
