History

The first independent law enforcement body in Crimea was formed on April 9, 1921 with the establishment of The Extraordinary Commission of Crimean Oblast (Крымская областная Чрезвычайная комиссия) by decree No. 332 of the Revolutionary Committee of Crimea.

After the formation of Soviet Militsiya, the Commission was called as Crimean Militsiya (Крыммилиция) and officially begun to named as Main Republic's Militsiya. Om March 4, 1922 the Extraordinary Commission of Crimean Oblast (local Cheka) was renamed as Crimean Political Directorate (Крымское Политуправление) with 390 officers.

In 1922 all the policing bodies in Crimea becomas as part of the NKVD of Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Управление НКВД СССР по Крымской АССР).

On March 1946 (as part of the governmental reforms) the NKVD was renamed to Ministry for Internal Affairs (УМВД Крымской области). On November 1962 the Ministry was renamed as Directorate for Public Order (Управление охраны общественного порядка, УООП Крыма) and shortly after it becomes as Directorate for Internal Affairs under the Executive Committee of Crimea (Управление внутренних дел Крымоблисполкома).

After the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Crimean Interior Ministry re-organized on May 1994 as Crimea's Main Directorate for Internal Affairs of Autonomous Republic of Crimea (ГУМВД Украины в АР Крым).

On March 2014 the Main Directorate has become the Ministry for Internal Affairs of the Republic of Crimea and was re-organized as part of Russian Policing system.
