The history of the Academy of the Ministry of internal affairs begins in the 30s of the 20th century.

The police schools were operating in Samarkand and Kokand, which are large cities of Uzbekistan at that period. In 1932, these two educational institutions were combined and Tashkent secondary special police school was established. Moreover, the Tashkent higher police school was established and the training of officers was launched in 1967. In addition to Uzbekistan, the school also trained personnel for the internal affairs structures of the Republics of Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. These educational institutions functioned until the independence of Uzbekistan.

Tashkent secondary special and higher police schools were transferred to the Ministry of internal affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan On October 25, 1991. The Academy of the Ministry of internal affairs was established on the basis of Tashkent secondary special and higher police schools On September 2, 1994. The combat flag was handed over to the academy in 1995.

During the years of independence, the academy became one of the leading higher educational institutions training highly qualified personnel for law enforcement agencies of our country.
