The invasion of Russia in June 1941 created a need for rear-area security units on the Eastern Front and Police Regiment Radom provided some of these. When the 24th Police Regiment was formed on 9 July 1942, it not have been by redesignating Police Regiment Radom as the regimental headquarters was not formed until 21 April 1943, although it fits in the 22–25 sequence allotted to the four police regiments based in Poland. At any rate, I and II Battalions were formed by redesignating Police Battalions 83 and 133 in the District of Galicia. Police Battalion 93 in Slovenia was redesignated as III Battalion, but this was strictly nominal as it remained in Slovenia until it was transferred as Marseilles, France, as a part of Police Regiment Griese in January 1943. It was replaced by redesignating I Battalion of the 23rd SS Police Regiment. All of the police regiments were retitled as SS police units on 24 February. The regiment was transferred to Belarus in May 1943 and was reformed in mid-November 1944 after having been destroyed during Operation Bagration.
