Problem statement: as practice shows, the issues of high-quality and timely fulfillment by employees of the territorial bodies of internal affairs of the Russian Federation of the legitimate requirements of the head (chief) do not lose their relevance, and in a number of departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia have a stable negative character and are in a state of unresolved. This circumstance forms the improper fulfillment of the tasks assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia by the country's leadership.
