Yes, this is true; Don's book expounds on the subject and the book Dwight and I are about through with will discuss this a bit too.
Police as we know them in america is not how police in pre-ww2 were known and used. Much more of a military manner and in fact, many ex-military were brought together and used as "police" but were in reality military in many aspects, living in barracks, single, issued rifles, anti-tank weapons, etc.
Some were; the rural police is more like a police like we knew, while the city police was broken down into many "types" of police; protection police, city police, water police, and then some police duties that in america would not be handled by the police.
