This record group contains documents relating to the organization and activity of the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police from its inception (July-August 1941) to the concluding phase of German occupation in the summer of 1944. The documents within this record group were initially collected for operational purposes by the Main Office of the Ukrainian Police in Lviv (Holovna Komanda Ukraiins’koii Policii u Lvovi).

The corpus of documents contains records of employment: applications, position statements (e.g. why the applicant seeks positions with the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police), and short autobiographies. Multiple applications for enrollment in the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police in the Lviv region show that a large number of applicants are not marked by nationalistic ideology, but rather evidence bread-earning pursuits on the part of a specific facet of the Ukrainian population in this region.

Also among these materials are service instructions, tutorials, ideological materials, and reports of the police activities. The police reports imply targets of the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police, both when acting of their own accord and as a combined force with the German security police. In most instances, the reports implicate engagement of the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police in anti-Jewish actions or in policing the Jewish quarters inside and outside. Staff-related documents consist of service evaluations, promotions, and the matters of salaries, ranks, medical insurances, and awards.

The arrangement scheme for the record group was imposed during processing in the absence of an original order. Materials are arranged by identifier, as assigned by the processor.

Record group is comprised of six items.
