In 1936, President Chiang Kai-shek was aware of the needs of police force in the newly established Republic of China, and so he founded the Central Police Academy in the capital of Nanjing, laying down the foundation of police training.

The Central Police University is a higher institution of police science and technology with a long history. With the mission of cultivating good police and professional talent, we hope our students become knowledgeable in theory and keen on actual practice. With excellent skills in martial arts and high quality academic performance, our students will become stabilizing forces in society when they graduate. Our goal is to contribute with all we can to maintain social peace and order.
