Introduction

Even today, police officers honorably carry out their responsible mission — protecting the life, health, rights and freedoms of citizens of the Russian Federation, foreign citizens, stateless persons, countering crime, protecting public order, property and ensuring public safety. The main principles of police activity are observance and respect for human and civil rights and freedoms, legality, impartiality, openness and publicity, public trust and support of citizens, interaction and cooperation. «The police in their activities today are obliged to use the achievements of science and technology, information systems, communication networks, as well as modern information and telecommunications infrastructure»^[1].

The principal autonomous structural subdivisions of the Ministry's central apparatus are:

The Investigation Committee, whose essential mandate covers the formulation of proposals on the framing of the State's policy with regard to the investigation of criminal activities and the organization of the work of the preliminary investigation authorities;

The Criminal Investigations Department, which in addition to its other work supervises in terms of organization and methods the criminal investigation units of the criminal police authorities in the constituent territorial entities of the Federation;

The Logistics Department, which provides support and performs the functions of a ministry in formulating and implementing State policy in the areas of logistic and medical support, information technology and communications within the system of the Ministry of the Interior;

The Personnel Department, which is responsible for supervising the personnel divisions of the internal affairs authorities and the Ministry of the Interior's educational establishments;

The Department of Economic Security, one of whose basic tasks is to adopt measures to combat tax-related and economic crimes;

The Organizational and Inspectorate Department, whose principal responsibilities include the analysis and planning of the Ministry's operational activities and also the organization of oversight and auditing activities within the system of the Ministry of the Interior;

The Road Safety Department;

Together with the internal affairs agencies of the Russian Federation, the Federal service of the National Guard troops helps to maintain public order, protect important government facilities and goods in shipment belonging to the State, and ensure public safety and the observance of states of emergency.
