As the Rwanda National Police (RNP) celebrates 25 years since its founding in 2000, one of the most significant areas of development has been in training. From a humble start with just one training school offering basic policing skills, the force has expanded into a highly professional organization equipped with modern facilities, specialized training programs, and international partnerships—all focused on preparing officers for today’s complex security issues.
