History
It was founded in 1969 originally as the Frunze Special High School of Militia Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. In October of that year, the first 64 students in the Soviet Army were accepted in the school, which had a teaching staff from secondary schools of the MVD in Stanyslaviv (Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine) and Yelabuga. The first head of school at that time was Major General Dzhapar Shabirov. On July 19, 1991, due to the political and social climate in the Soviet Union at the time, the school was transformed into the Bishkek Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kyrgyz SSR. During this period, considerable experience was accumulated in the training and retraining of highly qualified specialists for the police and combat units of the internal troops of the country. It took what is now its current form on January 15, 2000.
