Persons who are selected for admission must undergo basic training for cadets lasting seven months for the rank of “policeman”, so that these 250 policemen should be in the ranks of the KS MUP in 2024.
At the same time, a public competition will be announced and the procedure for hiring another 200 police officers will be carried out.
