The Kasernierte Volkspolizei (English: Barracked People's Police) (KVP) was the precursor to the National People's Army (NVA) in East Germany.[1] Their original headquarters was in Adlershof locality in Berlin, and from 1954 in Strausberg in modern-day Brandenburg.
They ceased to exist after 1956, having been transformed into the NVA, but are often confused with the later paramilitary police units, the Volkspolizei-Bereitschaft.
The KVP was tasked with internal security operations since at the time, the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany was still mandated to provide external defenses for East Germany.[1][2]
