The Grigory Potemkin Republican Cadet Corps is a specialized institution for the preparation of minors for professional service in all internal affairs bodies. On 9 July 2002, by a joint order of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, on the basis of the former Railway Boarding School, a Republican boarding school with a sports profile and a cadet department was established in Bender, being named after Bolshevik revolutionary Felix Dzerzhinsky. The first 33 pupils were enrolled in the institution on 23 July. During the entire month of August, cadets were enrolled in the Tiraspol Law College for summer training camps. In September 2002, the cadets began their studies at the school. On 2 September 2003, cadets of the corps opened the military parade of the troops of the Tiraspol Garrison on Republic Day.
