Editing Amt für Politische Sicherheit (section)

== Organization ==

The Amt für Politische Sicherheit was headquartered in [[Georgetown]], where its central files and senior staff were based. It was subordinate to the [[NSTAP]] and operated as part of the party apparatus rather than as an independent ministry.

The office was divided into sections responsible for party vetting, internal reports, administrative loyalty reviews, youth organization screening, and coordination with security institutions. These sections collected information from regional party offices, administrative departments, and security bodies.

Local party branches submitted reports concerning suspected political disloyalty, misconduct, unauthorized associations, or failure to follow party policy. These reports were reviewed by the central office and placed into political security files.

The office did not command the [[Ordnungspolizei]], [[Sicherheitspolizei]], or [[Tanoanischssicherheitshauptamt]]. It could refer cases to those institutions when a matter required arrest, surveillance, interrogation, or formal security action.
