In the mid-2000s the Patrol Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia underwent a radical transformation. In 2005 Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili fired "the entire traffic police force" of the Georgian National Police due to corruption,[3] numbering around 30,000 police officers.[4]
A new force was built around new recruits.[3] The United States State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law-Enforcement Affairs has provided assistance to the training efforts.[5] Patruli was first introduced in the summer of 2005 replacing the traffic police, which were accused of corruption.[6]
Throughout the reformation, policemen were presented with new Volkswagen cars and navy blue uniforms, with "Police" written on the back. They were armed with Israeli Jericho-941SFL pistols instead of PMs.
The Georgian Immigration Enforcement Training Video Unit (GIETVU) works to improve training methods for immigration enforcement operatives.[7]
In 2009 the U.S. State Department launched U.S. State Department’s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Program "The Georgia-to-Georgia Exchange Program", providing Georgian policemen with education courses in the State of Georgia. On June the United States funded 20 million dollars on these courses.
