Mitrokhin V.V. Service in the bodies of Internal Affairs as a form of a federal public law enforcement service

Abstract: The author states that the formation of a modern and effective public service of the Russian state is one of priority directions of reforms taking place in administrative and political sphere of public service. At present the organization of public service within the system of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and its personnel policy don’t meet the requirements of socio-economic development of the country. The consequences can be seen almost in all spheres of life: in economics, financial activities, social sphere, science and culture, in internal and international affairs, defense and security. The research is based on the presented grounds. The methodology of the research is based on the modern achievements of epistemology. The author uses the theoretical and general philosophical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, and modeling), the traditional legal methods (formal-logical), and the methods used in special sociological research (the statistical method, expert evaluations, etc.). Public service in general and service in the bodies of internal affairs in particular, is an essential element of the modern Russian state. Public service of any kinds and forms is always aimed at implementation of the state policy and the state functions. Therefore, public service as a political institution is directly dialectically connected with the state and, thus, is an interim link between a citizen and a public servant implementing any state functions.
