Police reform in Kyrgyzstan

[1] This resolution was the official position of the internal ministry on the main trends and principles of improvement of the operational and service activity during the transition period.

Subsequently, in 2008 “The Program on the Internal Affairs Reform for 2008 — 2010” was approved by the order of the MIA dated March 7 and April 16.

In the framework of that reform process, the structural and functional transformation of the MIA system was carried out with consideration of the democratic principles and existing real threats for the safety of the society and state.

[6] On February 20, 2012, that group of activists formed a network known as Civic union “For Reforms and Result” that later included 24 public organizations.

From October to November 2012, the activists then began a petition campaign, which included collecting citizens’ signatures in the country in support of the "Alternative Concept".

[7] More than 10 thousand signatures were later collected and submitted to the deputies of Jogorky Kenesh, President and the Prime minister of Kyrgyzstan in support of the "Alternative Concept".

[11] Subsequently, in September 2013, the Council for Reforming and Developing the System of a Law and Order was formed within the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, that was chaired by the Vice-Prime Minister on Issues of Defense, Safety and Borders.

[12] Eleven subsections were formed in the council to examine the declared trends of the reform in detail and submit the mechanisms of transformations to the joint body for discussion.

[15] In August 2018, the traffic police department also established an English hotline for tourists in the run up to the World Nomad Games.
