Jandarma ve Sahil Güvenlik Akademisi (JSGA) is a state-funded higher education institution established on 31 July 2016 by Decree Law No. 669, operating under the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Interior (T.C. İçişleri Bakanlığı). It is the sole statutory training pipeline for officers and non-commissioned officers of the Jandarma Genel Komutanlığı (Gendarmerie General Command) and Sahil Güvenlik Komutanlığı (Coast Guard Command). The institution traces its institutional heritage to 1904 (Selanik Jandarma schools) and now operates four campuses — a 4,019,559 m² main campus at Beytepe, a 12,285,093 m² training center at Hirfanlı, and two Işıklar campuses in Bursa — staffed by approximately 221 listed employees and organized into twelve functional units including a Security Sciences Faculty, Security Sciences Institute, Forensic Sciences Institute, Gendarmerie Non-Commissioned Officer Vocational School (JAMYO), Foreign Languages School, Continuing Education Center, Jandarma E-Akademi, and dedicated research centers for security studies and terrorism.

The academy's product portfolio combines military officer and NCO training with formal university degrees: a 5-year Security Management undergraduate program (4 years academic + 1 year English preparatory) for officer candidates, a 2-year associate degree in Security Services for NCO candidates, graduate (master's and doctoral) programs across five departments, and certificate programs delivered via the Jandarma E-Akademi digital platform. Core technology infrastructure comprises the JSGA Öğrenim Yönetim Sistemi (Learning Management System), the Jandarma E-Akademi distance-learning platform, the UYDES foreign-language training system integrating Rosetta Stone, and a mobile application. The institution collaborates with TÜBİTAK (2237-A BİDEB programs in wound ballistics and CBRN awareness), Anadolu Üniversitesi, Nurol Teknoloji, and international bodies including FIEP, EUROGENDFOR, and the Black Sea Coast Guard Cooperation Forum.

JSGA operates as a non-commercial government entity with no private shareholders, no disclosed revenue, and no commercial pricing model. All student needs (accommodation, food, clothing, education supplies, stipends) are covered by the state. Recruitment is conducted exclusively through the KPSS/ALES national examination system channeled by the Jandarma Genel Komutanlığı, with separate intake paths for civilian officer candidates, civilian NCO candidates, serving military personnel (ASEM, SUEM), and foreign students from nations holding bilateral training cooperation agreements with Turkey. The institution is KVKK-compliant for personal data processing and currently operates under Academy President Tümgeneral Recep YALÇINKAYA (appointed 2025 via Presidential Decree 2025/316).
