The Gestapo was the secret police of Nazi Germany, established in 1933. It was responsible for the detection and prevention of political dissent and the persecution of Jews and other minority groups. The Gestapo was notorious for its use of terror tactics and its brutal suppression of opposition. In contrast, the Canada Police Force is a civilian law enforcement agency that serves to protect the public and uphold the law. It is composed of police officers from all provinces and territories, and is dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for all Canadians.
