Analysis of the problems of psychological training of employees first hired to serve in internal affairs bodies as district police officers (using the example of the Barnaul Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia)

The relevance of the presented work is determined by the importance of the tasks of psychological training of employees who are first recruited to serve in internal affairs bodies and who fill the positions of local police commissioners. Turning to the analysis of the theory and practice of professional service activities, steadily indicates that most of the reasons for success and failure lie in the insufficient psychological preparedness of the subjects of law enforcement activities themselves. A logical question arises that necessitates the implementation of systematic monitoring of psychological problems that act as obstacles to the successful professional adaptation to service of employees of internal affairs bodies. The undoubted importance and urgency of overcoming psychological difficulties by representatives of law enforcement agencies, such as local police commissioners, prompted the authors of this article to analyze the psychological aspects of the training of district police commissioners who were first recruited to serve in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. Formulation of the problem. The problem that predetermined the conduct of this study is the need to identify a set of psychological problems in the psychological training of district police commissioners who were first recruited to serve in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. Because, given the complexity and responsibility of the police profession, special attention must be paid to identifying the psychological problems faced by employees who are hired for the first time in the process of training in the educational organization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and adapting to law enforcement activities. The purpose of the study is to analyze and identify a set of main psychological problems in the process of professional training of employees who are first hired into service in internal affairs bodies and filling the positions of local police commissioners, as well as to consider ways of possible prevention of these problems (using the example of the Barnaul Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, further on text - BYUI of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia). The main research methods were: analysis of theoretical sources, observation, survey of employees, quantitative processing and evaluation of the results obtained. The respondents were students of the Faculty of Professional Training of the Law Enforcement Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The results of the study are aimed at identifying the main psychological obstacles that affect the quality of training of employees newly hired to serve in internal affairs bodies as district police officers. Based on the analysis of the research results, practical recommendations have been developed aimed at improving the effectiveness of professional training of local police commissioners. Conclusions. Despite serious research by departmental scientists to find optimal approaches to improving the psychological aspects of professional training of employees hired for the first time in internal affairs bodies, the current significance of this scientific problem is difficult to overestimate and there is a need for its further study. The results of the study confirmed the need for further scientific study of the problem of psychological support for the professional training of employees hired for the first time to serve in internal affairs bodies, in particular for the positions of district police officers.
