Ministry of the Interior (Cuba)

Its headquarter is in a building of Plaza de la Revolución, a central and famous square of Havana.

It was founded on June 6, 1961, replacing and expanding the old Ministry of the Interior (Ministerio de Gobernación), inherited by the Cuban Revolution from the previous governments.

[2] The organs and structures that are part of the Minister fulfill functions of citizen security, and the establishment of the internal order.

The Ministry oversees the functions of security and public order through the National Revolutionary Police Force (PNR)[4] and the auxiliary body of the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR).

In Havana, it has a polytechnic institute (named Instituto Superior del MININT Eliseo Reyes Rodríguez),[4] for the training of media technicians in specialties related to criminal and police investigation lines.
