A Grenzpolizeikommissariat (Plural: Grenzpolizeikommissariate, English: Border Police Headquarters), often abbreviated as GPK, in the Nazi era was a regional office of the Grenzpolizei (Border Police) located in districts near international borders located either in the Reich or areas under German occupation. Because the Border Police was integrated into the Gestapo (later, Security Police) early during the Third Reich, GPKs functioned much like Gestapo branch offices. In 1941 and thereafter, members of several GPKs located in the Generalgouvernement and on the German border with the Soviet Union (i.e., annexed Lithuania), participated in mass shootings of Jewish civilians.
