Police mulls setting up own university
KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is taking major steps to enhance its human capital and raise academic standards within the force by transforming UNIKOP College into a competitive institution of higher learning. Speaking at the police monthly assembly in Bukit Aman, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the initiative is part of a broader effort to position PDRM as not only a law enforcement agency, but also a global centre for police education. "As part of this vision, PDRM is forming strategic partnerships with public universities, including Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), to explore the possibility of establishing a dedicated police university," Razarudin said. He added that the goal is to produce officers who are not only skilled in tactical and operational areas, but who also possess intellectual strength and world-class leadership capabilities. PDRM is also working to expand its international training presence. Razarudin said collaborations are being pursued with the Australian Police Force and the Chinese government to position PDRM's training facilities as a regional hub for international policing education. "This collaboration will not only enhance PDRM's global standing, but also allow for the exchange of expertise, technology and best practices in law enforcement," he said. As part of its education efforts, PDRM plans to launch a Police Diploma Programme in 2026, starting with 1,000 trainees from the Basic Police Training Programme (PLAK) at the constable level. The program is currently undergoing documentation and review to meet accreditation standards set by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), Razarudin said. Four diploma programs are being developed under the initiative: Police Management, Criminal Investigation, Internal Security, and Security Intelligence.
