Derek is right about the literal translation of the order (quoted by Mollo). Of course, there were no 'privates' as such in the civil or military police. The lowest substantive rank was a junior NCO, to give them the necessary authority.
Logic would suggest that the badge was to be worn (as a trade or speciality badge) on the Waffen-SS uniform, not the police one.....ie by policemen who would later expect to return from the Waffen-SS to the police.
The badge never seems to have been issued.
Angolia etc. are mistaken in their notion that it was a commemorative for former policemen.
