In Italy Police forces operate like usual also in Wartime.
In occupied territories : MVSN ( it was not a police force except some special branch like forest, rail rod police etc that have a poce status) has one Btg ( called Legion)attached on each Army division as ordinary infantry,
OVRA was a special branch of the police and not works outside Italy.
Carabinieri had the usual role of Military Police and in some cases organized local gendarmerie Corps .
Police and Excise Guards ( Guardia di Finanza) only mobilized few Btg in support of Army operation in Balcan theatre of operation.
