The Police of Tajikistan (Tajik: Милитсияи Тоҷикистон / Милитсия) are the national police forces of Tajikistan. Founded in November 1992, the police consists of various operational divisions and departments. Every year on 10 November, Tajikistan celebrates Police Day. As of January 2018, Tajikistan is one of four countries (along with Belarus, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan) where the term Militsiya is still formally retained as the service's official name. The term is sometimes still translated as "police".[2] The service uniform and equipment of police officers in Tajikistan are similar to the service uniform and equipment of the Soviet police.[3] In the summer of 2021, an Iranian police office was opened in Tajikistan.[4]
