ABSTRACT

Introduction. The article examines the system of departmental education within the Ministry of the Interior of Russia through the lens of the public-law nature of police activities. The relevance of the topic stems from the fact that police functions represent a key factor shaping the training of personnel in educational institutions of the Ministry. Methods. Based on historical and legal analysis, the author argues that the development of departmental education cannot be understood apart from the changing public functions of the police – functions that have been reshaped at each historical stage by political, social, and economic challenges. Results. The research focuses on the system-forming role of the public-law nature of the police in shaping the core components of professional training: the specific admission and selection procedures for educational institutions of the Ministry of the Interior; the legal status of cadets and trainees; the regulatory framework of the educational process; the design of educational programmes; and the content of political and educational activities. The author concludes that the evolution of police functions, stemming from their public-law nature, is the primary factor driving the continuous reform of the personnel training system. This implies the need for systematic monitoring of law enforcement challenges, real-time revision of curricula, and the implementation of innovative educational approaches.
