Current state of the legislation system regulating the police activities

Abstract

The police effectiveness in modern Russia depends not only on the professional training of employees, their logistical support and other factors, but a large role belongs to the legal tools at their disposal. But in practice, a certain legal collision periodically arises – the problem of the discrepancy be-tween legal norms of objective reality or, in some cases, the complete ab-sence of legal regulation of a certain circle of social relations. Given this, the study of the legislation system regulating the police activities is particularly relevant. In this work, we evaluate the current system of legislation regulating the police activities. In addition, we suggest ways to improve the systemati-zation of departmental police regulations. Thus, we state that the existing significant number of regulatory legal acts of the police system and the scope of relations, which are regulated by departmental norms, determine the need for codification work. We suppose that the problems of the large number of departmental normative acts can be solved with the help of such systematic activity as consolidation, that is, combining several acts into one larger one without significant changes to the text. In this work, we propose a definition of the term “police”, which needs legislative consolidation in the Federal Law “On Police”.
