However, the Minister of Public Security, according to the 2018 Public Security Law has the authority to extend the time of the national service of police enlistees by up to 6 months in case of emergencies.

Accordingly, police students graduating from academies and universities will be promoted to junior lieutenant while those graduating from higher schools will be promoted to sergeant. Students with excellent academic records may be promoted to the next higher ranks.
