Statspolitiet was a rapid reaction force, consisting of 76 men, who had fighting riots as their main task.
It was established June 11, 1931 and directly subordinated the Norwegian Ministry of Justice.
All police authorities in Norway were subordinated the Norwegian National Government.
[1][2] In 1941, during World War II, Statspolitiet was reintroduced as a name by the Norwegian collaborators of the Quisling regime.
No Norwegian police force after the war has subsequently called itself Statspolitiet.
