Turkey Police Academy 2026 admissions
Overview
In late July 2026 the Turkish Police Academy released its initial admission criteria for the Police Vocational High School (PMYO), requiring at least 250 raw TYT points (200 for relatives of martyrs or injured personnel), Turkish citizenship, high‑school completion, a clean criminal record, no political party membership, and age 18‑26. Height and BMI standards were also stipulated.
A week later the Academy announced that 3,250 cadets would be admitted for the 2026‑2027 academic year, allocating 2,560 seats to male candidates, 630 to female candidates and reserving 60 for families of martyrs and disabled personnel. The application window was set for 7–13 August 2026 via the e‑Devlet portal, with a reminder not to pay any examination fee before preliminary results.
On 6 August the recruitment opened, confirming the gender‑based quotas and reiterating the eligibility thresholds. Additional details specified a minimum height of 167 cm for men and 162 cm for women, a body‑mass index between 18 and 27, and age limits of 18 years by 1 October 2026 and not older than 26 years by 1 January 2026. Successful trainees will be appointed as police officers after completing their education.
