Originally the Royal Malaysia Police has 17 training institutions providing training nationwide. These training institutions played the role of delivering basic training as well as in-service training to senior officers, rank & files and civilian staff. With the restructuring and integration of several existing training institutions and colleges, the Royal Malaysia Police is left with only 10 training institutions in which four institutions are meant for basic training while the remaining six are to provide in-service training.

Based on the New Organisation Structure, the Royal Malaysia Police have reviewed all the training activities with an integrated approach and training implementations now moving towards a more systematic and organised manner. Some colleges and institutions which previously operate independently are now placed together in the same location to form a larger and integrated college, under the command of a Commandant. This is to ensure better planning, control and resource sharing particularly in terms of financing, logistics support, training and education of trainees and serving officers.
The idea of constructing the Senior Officers College was first mooted by the then Inspector General of Police, the Honourable Tun Mohd Hanif B Omar after a through study on the need to improve the condition of training institutions was completed. It is based on the study that the police finally owns an institution of higher learning; the Senior Officers College College Kuala Lumpur.
The ground breaking ceremony were officiated by the Honourable Tun Mohd Hanif B Omar on 7 January 1994 at the Police Field Force Central Brigade, Cheras. (This site was chosen because it is opposite the current college, separated only by the KL-Kajang main road). The physical construction of the college began on 16th January 1996 and was partially accepted by the Royal Malaysia Police on 31st January 1999 upon which it started its operation as a training institution.

The Senior Officers' College is a major training institution of the Royal Malaysia Police which adopts an integrated concept and executes the function of four previous training institutions namely:-
The college was officially launched by the Hon. Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Abdullah Bin Ahmad Badawi, who is also the Internal Security Minister on the 10th July, 2004 and it was renamed as "The Royal Malaysia Police College Kuala Lumpur". This give the college a new identity and larger responsibilities to provide training not only for senior officers but the other ranks as well.
The college is headed by a commandant with the rank of Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police I (SAC I) who is responsible for three centres of training, two centres of training support and two administrative divisions as below:-
Over the years of operation, a few units was added to the original structure namely the Center for Disaster & Crisis Management which is headed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) and the Diploma in Investigative Studies Unit, supposedly to be headed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP). Due to the massive intake of officer trainees in the recent years, the basic training for newly recruited officers was also been included as part of the responsibilities of this college. Hence, the Basic Policing Training Programme Unit was formed to train the Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). This unit is headed by an officer with the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP).
