Reserve Police Agency HQ, Kammergericht, Berlin

From: RPA Directorate Committee

To: New Personnel

Dear Colleague,

It is our distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Reserve Police Agency.

As you will doubtless be aware, the work of the RPA must be kept out of the public

eye, for reasons that will already have been made plain to you during your induction.

This will necessitate a certain amount of circumspection and discretion on your

part. Our work is vital for the preservation of order in Berlin and beyond.

The work you will be carrying out will bring you in to contact with certain ‘enti-

ties’ of an unsual kind. Please do not be alarmed by this. You can be assured of

receiving a full briefing prior to any and all missions. These briefings will give

all information required for successful completion.

You will find yourself working with representatives of the various Occupying Pow-

ers. Please be aware of differences in political, social and cultural attitudes

amongst your colleagues and take these differences into account.

Also, be aware that at all times you are bound by the Acts and Memoranda that

you have previously signed and any infringement of said articles will result in

prosecution of the most severe kind.

Finally, we hope you have a fruitful and interesting term of service with the

Reserve Police Agency.

Yours sincerely,

Bremmer, M
