The current Chief of the General Police Inspectorate is currently Vadim Cojocaru.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://politia.md/ro/content/cojocaru-vadim |title={{!}} Poliția Republicii Moldova |website=politia.md |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191203071450/http://politia.md/ro/content/cojocaru-vadim |archive-date=2019-12-03}} </ref> == History == The IGP was established as the Police of the Republic of Moldova on 13 September 1990, after the [[Government of Moldova]] adopted resolution no. 321 "On the reform of the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the [[Moldovan SSR]]", which provided for the creation of the police and district police stations. Thus, the place of the Soviet-era [[militia]] was occupied by the new police. On 18 December 1990, the [[Parliament of Moldova]] adopted the Law on police. In 1995 the national police of [[Moldova]] were under the direction of the Ministry of Interior. Internal troops were reported to have 2,500 men, and the numbers of [[riot police]] were put at 900. The scope and quality of Moldova's state security apparatus were difficult to determine. Like the armed forces, local assets of the former [[Committee for State Security of the Moldovan Soviet Socialist Republic|Moldavian KGB]] were transferred to the new government along with those personnel who wished to enter the service of the new government. These elements functioned at the time under the republic's Ministry of National Security before being transferred to the MAI. On 27 December 2012, a law which entered into force on 5 March 2013 established the General Police Inspectorate under the MAI.<ref name=IGP>[http://www.igp.gov.md/sites/default/files/document/attachments/buletin_18_decembrie_1.pdf Buletin informativ IGP – ediție specială]</ref> On 24 April 2013, the new police uniform was approved. On 8 April 2014, the Strategic Development Program was approved, a basic document of the Police, elaborated for a period of 3 years, which ensures the prioritization of the various objectives for the IGP. == Organization == [[File:Police car of Moldova 08.jpg|thumb|Police car of Moldova]] [[File:Полицейский Молдовы - Донор.jpg|thumb|A Moldovan policeman]] As a law enforcement body of state power, the police of the Republic of Moldova are divided into state and municipal. State police perform their duties throughout the republic, municipal - in the territory of the corresponding administrative unit. State and municipal police carry out their tasks in close cooperation. The State Police provides the municipal police with methodological and advisory assistance, as well as assists in the implementation of the duties assigned to it by their own forces and means. The municipal police assist the state police in carrying out operational investigative measures, timely inform them of the persons and facts of interest to them.<ref name="Учебник"> Учебник для доуниверситетского образования Александру Бородак ОСНОВЫ ГОСУДАРСТВА И ПРАВА РЕСПУБЛИКИ МОЛДОВА Кишинэу «Ştiinţa» 1998</ref> Institutions under the PGI are:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://politia.md/ro/content/inspectoratul-general-al-politiei|title = Inspectoratul General al Poliției}}</ref><ref>http://politia.md/sites/default/files/organigrama_igp_0.pdf {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref> *National Inspectorate of Investigations *National Patrol Inspectorate *Police Department of Chisinau Municipality *General Directorate of Criminal Investigation *[[Special Forces Brigade "Fulger"]] *Chinologic Center *Technical-Forensic Center and Judicial Expertise *Center for International Police Cooperation ([[Interpol]]) *Judicial Police *Procurement and Logistics Service *Directorate of Inspection *General Directorate for Public Security *42 police inspectorates at district level ==Recognition== On the inspectorate's 30th anniversary in 2017, the Police Directorate of the Chisinau Municipality was awarded by President [[Igor Dodon]] the [[Order of Ștefan cel Mare]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://president.md/rom/presa/igor-dodon-a-inmanat-inalte-distinctii-de-stat-la-patru-colective-din-municipiul-chisinau|title = Igor Dodon a înmânat înalte distincții de stat la patru colective din municipiul Chișinău}}</ref> === Uniform === The IGP has a summer outfit, a spring-autumn outfit and a winter outfit.
