I find a few things in this article confusing:
I think there is a preposition missing after the word “administered” but aside from that I am not sure what is meant by “unlike Western police forces”. Is this saying that western countries have police forces under the Ministry of Justice rather than Interior? Surely there are some western countries that place their police under the auspices of the Interior ministry?
Again, this confuses me. If they have an employment contract with the government, why are they not considered part of the civil service? Surely it just depends on what technical definition you use of "civil service". I believe that in countries like the US and the UK, you would not normally consider police officers to be "civil servants" although you could if you take a broad definition of the term "civil servant." -- 209.89.123.243 11:45, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
I`ll add some real sources and also a more detailed description of the Volkspolizei within the next weeks. Hope that´s okay.
the current translated version of the official oath is based on the automatic translation tool of a well-known search engine, and hence of truly poor quality. Improvement is definitely needed in that paragraph. 87.123.220.84 21:45, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

The introduction says (without sources) the organisation was formed using ancient nazi Orpo and Kripo members, while the page History of the Volkspolizei states it was formed from ancient Wehrmacht members turned communists and ancient International Brigades members (again, without sources). Are both statements true, or only one of them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.43.224.95 ( talk) 05:18, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
"an East German needed to have at least a tenth grade education"
That's an American standard and system that is meaningless to the vast majority of the planet. Please amend this to reflect a global comprehension and standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.141.211.84 ( talk) 14:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
