History

The almost century-old history of its formation dates back to 11 June 1921, when local police courses of the Kharkiv militia were established. This date is considered the birthday of the current academy.[3] A year later, on the basis of the former Courses, the School of the Senior Command of the Workers 'and Peasants' Militia of the USSR was established. On 25 December 1922, the school was reorganized with state support.[4] After taking the necessary organizational measures, on 23 October 1923, the institution was renamed the All-Ukrainian School of Police and Criminal Investigation. The newly created institution acquired the status of a republican one and began to train senior command staff for police departments throughout the Ukrainian SSR. In 1925, the All-Ukrainian School was relocated from Kharkiv to Kyiv, where in 1936 the school was renamed the Vsevolod Balitsky School of Senior Chiefs of the Workers 'and Peasants' Militia.[5] At the end of World War II, the school resumed its work and subsequently underwent a number of reorganizations and renamings. In 1960, the Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR merged with the Kyiv Special Police High School (since 1968 the school was called the Kyiv College of Ministry of Interior. After the proclamation of Ukraine's independence, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on 27 January 1992 established the Academy of Internal Affairs with its recognition as the main scientific and educational center. In December 1996, by order of President Leonid Kuchma, it gained national status. Nine years later, in September 2005, the academy was renamed the Kyiv National University of Internal Affairs and was reorganized the five years later.[6] The veterans’ organization of the academy was created on 24 November 1995.[7]
