Why were gestapos called gestapo?

GESTAPO, and Gestapos is bad usage- you would say Gestapo agents, or men. It was the plainclothes or detective arm of the German SS and derives from the acronym- Geheime Staats Polizei=- Secret- lit, Internal or Home ( like Homeland security??) State Police. Gestapo is a pronounced acronym. There you have it. By the way Kommissar was a Gestapo rank- better associated with the Russians. It approximated a Major or one ranking above a Police Captain or Hauptmann. There was also a Geheime feld Polizei- Field Police- operating int he Occupied territories. In France, this was styled Feldgendarmerie. ( for local reasons) closely tied into the Waffen-SS.
