Werner -

Maybe you can clarify because I am not familar with ordnungspolizei...

I thought that the Third Reich police groups were divided betwed "SD" - Security, Gestapo - Secret State Police, and Kripo - Criminal Police. All eventually under the responsibility of the SS.

Can you be more specific?

All
No help on decals but for Polizei clarification/confusion, the following gleamed from an old Ballantine's illustrated History Nazi Regalia and a couple of other minor players.

Ordnungspolizei: The Order Police the regular uniformed
Police. Comprising the Schutzpolizei,the Gendarmerie,
the Feurschutzpolizei and various technical and
auxiliary installations.
Ortspolizei : The local police.
Marktpolizei : Market police. Responsible for markets and fairs.
Landwacht : Auxilery rural police established in 1942 to help the
regular police. Mostly ex-sevicemen of WWI
Kriminalpolizei or Kripo: The criminal police which with the Gestapo
formed the Security Police (Sipo) Became the Amt V of
the RSHA in 1939.
Kasernierte polizei: Militerized barrack police.
Hilfspolizei or Hipo: SS & SA men deputized into the regular police
Grenzpolizei or Grepo: Frontier contro police manned by the SD, wore SS
uniforms
Gestapo :The Secret State Police Amt 1a of the RSHA.
Gendarmerie :Rural Police including motorized unit for traffic
control.
Gemeindepolizei :Municipal police.
Feurschutzpolizei:Firefighting police.
Bahnschutzpolizei : Railway protection police with auxillery status.
Became part of the SS in 1942.
Abwehrpolizei :Counter espionage ploice, part of thr Grenzpolizei.
Controlled by the Gestapo.
Schutzpolizei :The regular uniforms municipal and county police that
formed the bulk of the Ordnungspolizei.
Wasserschutzpolizei: Police for inland waterways (and ports I Think).
Hochgebirspolizei : High mountain police (Pictures only no info as to
who it belongs to. Probably part of Grenzpolizei)
There may be more that I've missed. But you get the drift Police State
Hope it comes out readable.

OOPSS! Quite much Police!
Basically I am interested in vehicle markings of the Ordnungspolizei. Got Dragons
Panhard 178 with railroad wheels and to my surprise the decalsheet included such markings. Unfortunately they are not accurate. we are now thinking of producing either
a decal set ( still looking for this misterious printer which can print white markings )
or make stencils..
