The Gestapo was given to a leading member of the Nazi Party of Germany by Hermann Gring.
 Himmler also gained authority over all of Germany's uniformed law enforcement agencies, which were amalgamated into the new Ordnungspolizei (Orpo; Order Police), which became a national agency under SS general Kurt Daluege
 Over time, membership in the Gestapo included ideological training, particularly once Werner Best assumed a leading role for training in April 1936
