The communist takeover in 1947 had a profound impact on the Police Academy. The institution was reorganized and renamed “Școala de Ofițeri de Securitate” (Security Officers’ School), with a focus on training security personnel to serve the communist regime.

The interwar period saw significant reforms and modernization efforts within the Police Academy. In 1925, the academy was relocated to a new campus in Bucharest, and its curriculum was expanded to include more specialized courses, such as forensic science and criminology.

The concept of a police academy in Romania dates back to the 1860s, when the country was still in its early stages of modernization. During this period, law enforcement was primarily carried out by local authorities, with little to no formal training or standardization. In 1864, the Romanian government established the “Școala de Poliție” (Police School), which aimed to provide basic training to police officers.

In the following years, the academy underwent significant reforms, including the introduction of new curricula, modernization of facilities, and increased collaboration with international law enforcement agencies. Today, the Police Academy is a leading institution for law enforcement training in Romania, with a strong emphasis on professionalism, integrity, and community trust.

During this period, the academy’s curriculum was heavily politicized, with an emphasis on Marxist-Leninist ideology and loyalty to the state. The academy’s graduates were tasked with enforcing the regime’s policies, often using coercive measures.

The fall of communism in 1989 marked a significant turning point for the Police Academy. In 1990, the institution was reestablished as the “Academia de Poliție” (Police Academy), with a renewed focus on democratic values, human rights, and community policing.
