Educational Complex of the Police announcing open competition for selection of trainers to conduct instruction within the framework of establishment of new Patrol Service

In the context of the large-scale reforms in the police sector launched in December 2019, the Government has undertaken the establishment of a new Patrol Service, and this was also approved by Decision No 638-L of 23 April 2020 “On approving the Strategy for Reforms of the Police of the Republic of Armenia and the 2020-2022 Action Plan arising from the Strategy”.

The establishment of a new Patrol Service will serve as the first wave of modern police with new functions, new equipment, new education and skills and, most importantly, a new mindset. The steps for formation of these new values will be taken at the Educational Complex of the Police of the Republic of Armenia during instruction that will last 5 months (September-January).
