Social Sciences - History / Nazi era

German term or phrase: Gruppenkommando

This is from the description of a police station in the 3rd Reich. Are there standard English translations of these terms or are they usually left in German?

Straßenführer 1938: Das Revier 16, Berlin C 2, Hackescher Markt 1. Telephon: 423997. Schutzpolizei Abschnittskommando Alexander, Schutzpolizei Gruppenkommando Mitte, Polizeiamt Mitte, Kriminalkommissariat III, Amtsarzt Mitte, Wehrbezirkskommando VI.

Thanks.
