History

edit

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, there was a rapid increase in crime. Regional centers and large industrial cities with the most complex operational environment were under the special control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On 23 June 1992, the Law "On the Internal Affairs Bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan" was adopted, which became the first act that defined the tasks and functions of the Internal Affairs Bodies of the country. In October 1995, at the suggestion of foreign consultants, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic was reformed through the creation of the State Investigative Committee, a separate body to which the rights and functions of carrying out inquiry, investigation and operational search activities were given. The activities of the Investigative Committee had a negative impact on the crime situation in the country, which resulted in its disbandment in November 1997. In 1998, the police in Kazakhstan was formed. In 2002, the Ministry of Internal Affairs carried out a new reform, with the penitentiary system being transferred from the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the Ministry of Justice. In November 2010, the number of employees of internal affairs bodies was reduced by 15%, primarily affecting the regions and districts.[5] In 2010, medical sobering-up centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were transferred to the Ministry of Health. In 2011, the functions of documenting and registering the population were given to the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the Ministry of Justice due to the worsening situation in this area. In 2013, the merging the functions of the road and patrol police took place. In 2014, the Ministry of Emergency Situations was abolished and was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In 2016, the structure of the territorial Internal Affairs Agencies (DIA) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was fragmented, resulting in the creation of a local police service, transferred to the subordination and management of exclusively local akims (mayors) of cities and regions.[6][7]
