They were chosen by time: on February 14, 1992, was created the riot police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia
On February 14, 1992, a special police detachment was created in the war-torn South Ossetia. To be more precise, the detachment began to be formed several months before the date that entered the history of the Ossetian statehood. At that time, the entire law enforcement system in South Ossetia was in a difficult situation: the militia began to be disarmed, starting in 1991. The Soviet Union still existed, a system of linear subordination of bodies "union center - republican - autonomous region - city" was built with an unshakable rule of subordination to orders.
