The Minister pointed out that from now on, everyone who graduates from the UCIPS will have a priority in employment in the Ministry of Interior, and that the country is most seriously counting on the staff coming from the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies.

“Make good use of the time you spend here. What you don’t learn today, you’ll find harder to learn tomorrow. Those who take care of you, take care of you as if you were their children. Appreciate this and do not gamble on the trust of your country, the trust that has been given to you and the opportunity that appears once in a lifetime. You are given everything to prepare and study well, you have the best conditions and the best professors.

We can give you everything except trust and respect, you will either win it for yourself or you will never get it. It's up to you. There is no uniform and school that will win your respect and trust, and we can only believe that you are worthy of the part that was given to you.
