The Royal Malaysian Police College Kuala Lumpur or Maktab Polis Diraja Malaysia Kuala Lumpur is a police force college institution was located at Kuala Lumpur, responsible train a few senior police officers in Malaysia and Malaysian Armed Forces senior officers. Apart from that, this institution also trained a senior police officers and military from Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Russia, United Kingdom, United States and other countries.
The Royal Malaysian Police College is located at 7⅓ miles south of Kuala Lumpur City centre. It is separated from the Royal Malaysia Police General Operation Force, Central Brigade by Cheras Road; the trunk road to Kajang town and is close to Phoenix Plaza and Fajar Supermarket. The journey from Kuala Lumpur city centre to this college is only about 20 minutes (even at peak hours) whereas it takes about an hour to travel from KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang) using the Sg. Besi highway.
Originally the Royal Malaysian Police has 17 training institutions providing training nationwide. These training institutions played the role of delivering basic training as well as in-service training to senior officers, rank & files and civilian staff. With the restructuring and integration of several existing training institutions and colleges, the Royal Malaysian Police is left with only 10 training institutions in which four institutions are meant for basic training while the remaining six are to provide in-service training.
Based on the New Organization Structure, the Royal Malaysia Police have reviewed all the training activities with an integrated approach and training implementations now moving towards a more systematic and organized manner. Some colleges and institutions which previously operate independently are now placed together in the same location to form a larger and integrated college, under the command of a Commandant. This is to ensure better planning, control and resource sharing particularly in terms of financing, logistics support, training and education of trainees and serving officers.
The idea of constructing the Senior Officers College was first mooted by the then Inspector General of Police, the Honorable Tun Mohd Hanif B Omar after a through study on the need to improve the condition of training institutions was completed. It is based on the study that the police finally owns an institution of higher learning; the Senior Officers College College Kuala Lumpur.
The ground breaking ceremony were officiated by the Honorable Tun Mohd Hanif B Omar on 7 January 1994 at the Police Field Force Central Brigade, Cheras. (This site was chosen because it is opposite the current college, separated only by the KL-Kajang main road). The physical construction of the college began on January 16, 1996 and was partially accepted by the Royal Malaysia Police on January 31, 1999 upon which it started its operation as a training institution.
The Senior Officers' College is a major training institution of the Royal Malaysia Police which adopts an integrated concept and executes the function of four previous training institutions namely:-
The college was officially launched by the former Hon. Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Abdullah Bin Haji Ahmad Badawi, who is also the Internal Security Minister on the July 10, 2004 and it was renamed as "The Royal Malaysia Police College Kuala Lumpur". This give the college a new identity and larger responsibilities to provide training not only for senior officers but the other ranks as well.
The college is headed by a commandant with the rank of Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police I (SAC I) who is responsible for three centers of training, two centers of training support and two administrative divisions as below:-
Over the years of operation, a few units was added to the original structure namely the Center for Disaster & Crisis Management which is headed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) and the Diploma in Investigative Studies Unit, supposedly to be headed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP). Due to the massive intake of officer trainees in the recent years, the basic training for newly recruited officers was also been included as part of the responsibilities of this college. Hence, the Basic Policing Training Program Unit was formed to train the Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). This unit is headed by an officer with the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
