Mitrokhin V.V. Administrative-legal status of an officer of internal affairs bodies as a federal public servant and the problems of its realization

Abstract: The author of the article notes that the formation of a modern and efficient government service in Russia and the development of administrative-legal status of officials is one of the priority directions of transformations in the administrative and political spheres of public administration. On the basis of the subject of the research the author notes that nowadays the organization and the personnel policy of government service within the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation are in a bad condition and not entirely conform to the aims and goals of socio-economic development of the country. The consequences appear almost in all spheres of life: in economics, financial activities, solution of social issues, in science and culture, in internal and external affairs and international policy, defense and security. Therefore, the author admits the importance of the development of administrative-legal status of an official of internal affairs bodies as a federal officer. The methodology of the research is based on the recent achievements of epistemology. The author uses the theoretical and general philosophical methods (dialectics, the systems method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), and the methods used in special sociological research (the statistical method, expert assessments, etc.). Government service in the modern world is a link between a person and the state; the efficiency of this linkage influences the quality of public administration, the protection of rights and freedoms of citizens, and, ultimately, the life of people.
