The Tashkent MVDHigh School was established in 1932. In 1958, a branch of the Distance Learning Faculty of the Higher School of the Ministry of Protection and Public Order of the RSFSR was opened in Tashkent. This move provided the basis for the school's intake of cadets, some of whom graduated in 1961. In September 1964, an evening school was opened for 50 internal affairs personnel from the Tashkent Garrison, who started to receive training. In accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Uzbek SSR on October 23, 1967, a full-time department was established in the school. The Tashkent MVD High School was re-established as the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan on September 2, 1994. The academy is a specialized educational police institution, which carries out educational activities for the implementation of the rule of law in Uzbekistan. Most graduates of the academywork in the Ministry of Internal Affairs or in the armed forces.
Academy Band
The Band of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan is an Uzbek musical ensemble that is linked to the Academy of the Interior Ministry. It was created in 1981 on the basis of a military band at the Tashkent MVD High School, with some cadets of the school joining the band immediately. The band began to support organized events that are facilitated by the band beginning in the 1982 academic year. In 1992, Lieutenant Khasan Nazarov took control of the band, being its first director following the Fall of the Soviet Union and the creation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. At the time, the MVD High School, which was later given its current name, replaced members of the staff with professional Uzbek musicians in 2004. Today, the band performs during the daily morning assembly for cadets, as well as taking part in all ceremonial events held at the academy, including oath-taking ceremonies, national military parades, local parades, and graduation ceremonies. The band regularly prepares and conducts concert programs on major Uzbek holidays, such as Defender of the Motherland Day, Victory Day, and Independence Day. Since 2014, the band has been under the leadership of Director of Music K. Alimov.
