Police mulls setting up own university
KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is taking major steps to enhance its human capital and raise academic standards within the force by transforming UNIKOP College into a competitive institution of higher learning.
Speaking at the police monthly assembly in Bukit Aman, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the initiative is part of a broader effort to position PDRM as not only a law enforcement agency, but also a global centre for police education.
"As part of this vision, PDRM is forming strategic partnerships with public universities, including Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), to explore the possibility of establishing a dedicated police university," Razarudin said.
He added that the goal is to produce officers who are not only skilled in tactical and operational areas, but who also possess intellectual strength and world-class leadership capabilities.
PDRM is also working to expand its international training presence. Razarudin said collaborations are being pursued with the Australian Police Force and the Chinese government to position PDRM's training facilities as a regional hub for international policing education.
"This collaboration will not only enhance PDRM's global standing, but also allow for the exchange of expertise, technology and best practices in law enforcement," he said.
As part of its education efforts, PDRM plans to launch a Police Diploma Programme in 2026, starting with 1,000 trainees from the Basic Police Training Programme (PLAK) at the constable level.
The program is currently undergoing documentation and review to meet accreditation standards set by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), Razarudin said.
Four diploma programs are being developed under the initiative: Police Management, Criminal Investigation, Internal Security, and Security Intelligence.

Kg Parit Seberang in Kuala Pilah selected as IGP's MADANI adopted village
KUALA PILAH: A total of RM1 million has been allocated to upgrade Kampung Parit Seberang, which has been selected as the Inspector-General of Police's (IGP) Kampung Angkat MADANI (MADANI Adopted Village). Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said that the village was selected by the Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department (JPJKK), based on its infrastructure status, which was assessed to be below 50 per cent complete, and in need of special attention. He said that the Kampung Parit Seberang Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK) encompasses three villages - Kampung Parit Mainau, Kampung Parit Mungkal and Kampung Parit Istana - covering a total area of 3.3 square kilometres. 'I would like to share that RM1 million has been allocated, through the Ministry of Finance, to support the entire initiative to upgrade the village, not to mention, omak sey oghang sini (my mother is from here),' he said. He added that, beyond narrowing the development gap in basic infrastructure between rural and urban areas, the programme aims to deliver high-quality community services, through collaboration between ministries, departments, agencies, and public universities. He said this at the IGP's MADANI Adopted Village community programme, held in Kampung Parit Seberang, which was also attended by state senior executive councillor, Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, here, today. Razarudin said the proposed upgrade projects include improvements to buildings, landscaping and fencing around the Kampung Parit Seberang surau, road repairs and resurfacing, refurbishment of the Kampung Parit Seberang community hall, and the installation of 20 solar-powered street lights throughout the village. He added that the upgrading works are being closely monitored by the Bukit Aman JPJKK and the Kuala Pilah district police headquarters (IPD), with the aim of ensuring that all improvements are implemented with good governance. 'I have high hopes that this government initiative will be put to good use, for the comfort and well-being of the local community,' he said. Meanwhile, Kampung Parit Seberang JPKK chairman Hasnan Abd Malek, 55, expressed his gratitude to the government for selecting the village as the IGP's MADANI Adopted Village. 'This selection is a great advantage in our aim to achieve zero crime. Alhamdulillah, it will bring many benefits to the villagers, especially in terms of security, as there will now be regular police patrols in the village,' he said.
