The SS and Police Leader in Latvia acted as the highest German police authority in the General Region (Generalbezirk) Lettland; it combined the functions of both security and order. The position was subordinate to the highest SS and Police Commands in Ostland and Russia North. The SS and Police Leader in Latvia in 1941-1944 was Walter Schroeder, in Riga.
The records were received at the archives as captured materials, and the inventory was compiled at the archives in 1946. The documents have survived only partially and give only fragmentary insight into activities of the institution. There is information about people who served in the police battalions, campaigns Winterzauber and Heinrich, etc.
