Police Regiment North Norway was formed on 16 February 1941 with Police Battalions (
Polizei-Bataillon)
256,
302 and
312 under its control. The regiment maintained a strength of three battalions through July 1942, although the individual battalions were frequently rotated in and out. The regiment was renamed the 26th Police Regiment in July 1942 and Police Battalions
251,
255, and 256 were redesignated as the regiment's first through third
battalions, respectively. All of the police regiments were redesignated as SS police units on 24 February 1943. The regiment was transferred to German in May and arrived in
Belarus the following month. It was destroyed in July 1944 and formally disbanded in November. ==Notes==
