An especially important milestone in the construction of the Russian Interior Ministry was in 1880, when the Emperor Alexander II carried reorganized the agency, which later took a leading position in the state.

After the October Revolution, the Ministry became the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, which laid the foundation for the pre-revolutionary structure of the MVD.

The establishment of Soviet rule in the republic began a new phase of law enforcement agencies, including police (then-called Militsiya).

On 28 April 1920 in Timir-Khan-Shura a committee chaired by D. Korkmasova adopted a resolution "to protect the revolutionary order and public security police."

The time since the Soviet collapse, revealed new challenges in the form of rapid growth of crime, which was a reflection of the dysfunctional state and social establishment.

Sociopolitical tensions, ethnic conflicts, economic deterioration, and most importantly, the professionalism and intellectualization of crime, armed with the latest technologies.

Today the Interior Ministry emphasizes simple principles: efficiency, structural clarity, proportionality challenges, technological equipment and personnel.

The success of this activity is largely determined by the quality of personnel, professional capacity and the moral and psychological readiness to perform assigned tasks.

Lieutenant general Prince Chavchavadze Baryatinsky, Volsky, Tikhonov, Major-General Alftan, Ermolov, Colonel Dingizov-Jansen and others over the years maintained law and order in Dagestan.
