Digital transformation, cyber threats and transnational crime are raising the requirements for training specialists for law enforcement agencies. Cooperation that brings together the educational, research and practical capacities of educational institutions plays an important role in responding to these challenges.

A memorandum on the establishment of the Consortium of Higher Education Institutions of the Law Enforcement Agencies of the Republic of Uzbekistan was signed in June 2026. The Consortium comprises the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the University of Public Security, the Customs Institute and the Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The Law Enforcement Academy was entrusted with chairing the Consortium’s first Coordinating Council.

Within the framework of this cooperation, numerous joint and open classes were held, educational publications were prepared, and teaching materials underwent expert review. Dozens of curricula in the field of legal sciences were developed and subjected to internal and external review.

On 10 November 2026, a meeting of the Coordinating Council of the Consortium of Higher Education Institutions of the Law Enforcement Agencies of the Republic of Uzbekistan was held at the Law Enforcement Academy.

The meeting was attended by representatives of responsible agencies and international organisations and addressed issues related to the effective implementation of the Consortium’s activities in the future. The agenda included approval of the Consortium Regulations, formation of the Council, Secretariat and Executive Office, and approval of the activity plan for 2027–2029. The plan covers eight areas of cooperation.

Establishing common rules, forming responsible structures and approving a three-year plan provide a foundation for systematic interagency cooperation and the consistent continuation of joint educational and research projects.
