The 'Green Police' in NL (and elsewhere) were the GFP: Geheime Feldpolizei (Secret Field Police), who followed attacking, then occupying, Heer (Army) troops. Their mission was to ferret out and combat resistance, sabotage, subversion, espionage, etc. within defeated and occupied countries. They wore Heer green uniforms utilizing different, identifying piping. (Hence, 'Green Police'.) They collaborated with the SD, Gestapo, Feldgendarmerie, Heer, Abwehr and local police and intelligence operations, and possessed extraordinary powers. They were primarily a police function separate from the military, and were made up of policemen, former policemen and on-loan soldiers. They were very active in rounding up, and tracking down, downed enemy aircrew.
