History

Baltykhodja Sultanov, the founder of the Police of the Osh Oblast of the Kyrgyz SSR.

On 21 October 1924, the Central Executive Committee of Kara-Kirghiz Autonomous Oblast created a Revolutionary Committee headed by Imanali Aidarbekov as a police force for the oblast. On 1 November, the committee began to function as a police force. This day is considered to be the birthday of the police of the Kyrgyz Republic. In 1960, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR was established, with interior ministries also being founded in the USSR's republics, including Kyrgyzstan. On 17 December 1968, the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the Kirghiz SSR was renamed into the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kirghiz SSR. On 19 May 1969, the Frunze Special Secondary School of the Militsiya of the MVD was opened with the purpose of training civilian youth for service in the Frunze city police.

In 1991, the ministry was made into an independent organization following the fall of the USSR that year. On 23 July 1998, the Kyrgyz government approved Resolution #490, “The Concept of Development of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of the Kyrgyz Republic”, which was the official position of the internal ministry on the main trends and principles of improvement of the operational and service activity during the transition period. Between 1999 and 2005, the Ministry of Internal Affairs began underwent a process of reform during which the quantity of internal affairs services were reduced by 50%. The General Directorate of Penitenciary Services (GUIN) was transferred to the Ministry of Justice while the State Fire Service was transferred to the Kyrgyzstan Emergency Situations Ministry. Most experts on the subject considered the 7 year reforms period as a failure as it didn't bring notable results. On 30 April 2013, the Government defined the direction of the new course of police reforms by announcing the beginning of public monitoring of changes in the law enforcement agencies.

Internal Troops

The Internal Troops (Kyrgyz: Ички иштер министрлигинин ички аскерлери; abbreviated ИА/IA, Russian: Внутренние войска Министерства внутренних дел; abbreviated ВВ/VV) are paramilitary gendarmerie-like forces belonging to the Ministry of the Interior. In 2014, the Internal Troops was absorbed into the country's National Guard as a result of military reforms in the country initiated by President Almazbek Atambayev. This arrangement would stay until September 2018 when the two were separated and the Internal Troops were reformed. The reason being was that President Sooronbay Jeenbekov found that the Internal Troops as part of the National Guard have limited potential and capabilities in resolving service and combat tasks. The internal troops have served during the Osh riots (1990), the Tulip Revolution, the Kyrgyz Revolution of 2010 and the 2010 South Kyrgyzstan ethnic clashes.

On 24 August 2021, on its 80th anniversary, President Sadyr Japarov announced plans to increase the salaries of the Internal Troops by 40%.

SOBR

The Ministry of the Interior maintains several special SOBR (СОБР) teams, similar to the American SWAT teams. SOBR follows the Russian and other post-Soviet practices.

MVD High School

It was established as the Pishpek Police School before becoming a subordinate of the NKVD in November 1938, beginning with 2 years of training.
