In 1944 in Sofia started the first classes in the Public School for Policemen. In the next years, such schools were established in Plovdiv and Burgas. In 1949 all three schools were merged into a Central School to the Ministry of Interior named after Georgi Dimitrov. Since 1991 the name was changed to Higher Institute for Officer Training and Research.
Since 2002, with a decision of the National Assembly, the institution has been transformed into a university named the Academy of the Ministry of Interior with its own flag, seal and an official day (1 October).
