The organization of this unit was entrusted to Polizeimajor Walther Wecke of the Prussian Police Force, who had assembled a special detachment of 14 officers and 400 men within just two days.[7] On 17 July, the detachment was officially renamed Landespolizeigruppe Wecke.[8] On 22 December 1933, the unit was again retitled, becoming the Landespolizeigruppe General Göring. The unit carried out conventional police duties for the next two years under the command of Göring's ministerial adjutant Friedrich Jakoby,[8] but it was Göring's intention to ultimately produce a unit that would match the Reichswehr.
