In early July 2026, the North Macedonia Police School announced it was accepting applications for 200 cadet positions. Later that month, Moldova’s Stefan cel Mare Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened enrollment for 275 new students, with 175 funded by the state. The Moldovan academy detailed its three study tracks—Law, Public Order and Security, and Border Security—along with requirements such as a clean criminal‑record check and health certification, and noted that budget‑supported cadets receive accommodation, meals and uniforms, and must complete a year of military service.

Both announcements reflect a regional push to expand and professionalize law‑enforcement training by increasing intake capacities and offering state‑backed support for trainees.
