A police tank company was planned, but never formed.[2][page needed][3][page needed] Police Battalion 2 (Polizei-Batallion 2) was assigned as its 1st battalion, but it was in northern Russia at that time. It was withdrawn to Berlin around August or September for reorganization. The regiment's 2nd battalion was Police Battalion 3, but this assignment was only nominal as the battalion was scattered along the length of the Eastern Front and remained that way until the bulk of it was withdrawn to Mährisch Ostrau, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, (now Ostrava, Czech Republic) in late 1942[4] where it served as cadre for the 1st Battalion of the 36th Police Rifle Regiment (Polizei-Schützen Regiment 36) in mid-1943.
