Agency allowance. Operas working with informers want to pay extra for the risk. There can be no secondary issues in the work with personnel Shortage in the police

Lidia Grafova, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Forum of Resettlement Organizations, is talking to First Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Police Colonel-General Alexander Gorov.

Alexander Vladimirovich, two years have passed since the Federal Migration Service was suddenly liquidated. To be honest, the sudden transfer of all migration cases to the police has caused shock among migrants and those who work with them. It is difficult to understand such speed. An explanation involuntarily suggests itself: migration has become such a Klondike for corruption that it was the police that could be entrusted with correcting the situation. So, have you managed to improve something significantly in these two years?

Alexander Gorovoy: Firstly, I do not comment or discuss the decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, since my task is to carry them out in strict accordance with the law. In addition, I do not agree with this interpretation of the reasons for transferring migration issues to the competence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In principle, the very thesis "Klondike for corruption" is unfair to most employees of the former Federal Migration Service.

Obviously, by 2016, the next stage in the development of the migration situation, both in Russia and abroad, was completed, so the change in government in this area was quite natural. The UN report on migration for 2017 speaks of 258 million migrants, of which half are in ten countries of the world, including our Russia. Therefore, it is important for us to understand and anticipate the threats associated with massive uncontrolled flows of migrants, illegal migration, and the activation of international terrorist organizations using migration channels. In such circumstances, national security issues come to the fore. This is what the President spoke about in 2016 at a meeting of the Security Council on improving migration policy. You also need to understand the need to optimize the public administration system, since certain functions of the Federal Migration Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were duplicated.

The President set the task of maintaining a high level of quality and satisfaction of citizens with public services in the field of migration. We tried to pass the organizational measures for the acceptance of the powers and functions of the Federal Migration Service without damage, while maintaining human resources.

What percentage of the general background of crime is accounted for by migrants today?

Alexander Gorovoy: In the total array of crimes committed by migrants, it is 3.7%. However, we always note that this figure is taken as an average for Russia. If we take into account that foreign citizens are mainly sent to the Moscow region and the northern capital, then it is in these regions that most crimes are committed due to the high concentration of migrants, respectively, and the share in these constituent entities of the Russian Federation is much higher - in Moscow it is 17%, in Moscow region - 12.5%, in St. Petersburg - 10%. Statistics show such figures today. At the same time, the crimes of migrants are generally not classified as serious, but are associated with forged documents or the organization of illegal migration.

How would you explain why the personnel of the former Federal Migration Service was reduced by 30% during liquidation?

Alexander Gorovoy: Yes, indeed, in accordance with the presidential decree, the staffing of the Federal Migration Service transferred to us in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was reduced by 30%. In the course of organizational and staffing measures, we proceeded from the fact that the reduction concerned support services and command and control apparatus so that there would be no duplication of rear, financial or personnel units both in the central office and in territorial bodies.

However, the workload on inspectors who work directly with migrants "on the ground" has, of course, increased. First of all, this is due to the so-called "seasonal" loads, and the peculiarities of rural areas, where in the morning hours a large number of citizens apply for an appointment at the same time.

In this regard, the Minister of Internal Affairs decided to increase the number of staff in certain territorial bodies, drawing attention to the need to improve the quality of public services to citizens. Depending on the forecasted need, from 4 to 47 additional positions have been introduced in the regions, and the total number of employees of migration departments has been increased by 995 units. In addition, the minister supported the increase in the staffing of migration units through the internal redistribution of the existing shortfall. The Minister of Internal Affairs also controls the quality of public services. When holding collegiums and meetings, specific management decisions aimed at compliance with all requirements for the quality of public services (waiting time in line, compliance with the deadlines for the provision of public services).

Alexander Vladimirovich, I visit the regions and I know what queues there are, how many experienced employees have left the service. They leave, you know, because of the difference in salaries - two or even three times less than those who are not certified ... Here is an employee in Moscow telling me: "I have been working for 30 years, and my salary is 12 thousand." Why, such a salary can be called a provocation for bribery.

Alexander Gorovoy: Unfortunately, the salaries of our civil servants in some regions are less than the new minimum wage. We are currently working on this problem, including by sending appeals to the relevant departments.

The share of crimes committed by migrants in Russia is 3.7%. But in Moscow - 17%, in St. Petersburg - 10%

What is the Ministry of Internal Affairs doing to train new employees?

Alexander Gorovoy: Previously, there was not a single educational institution in the country that would train employees of the migration service. Last year, for the first time, such sets were implemented at the University named after V.Ya. Kikotya, at the Moscow Law Institute. Today we train such specialists at the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and at the Nizhny Novgorod Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. In addition, initial training and advanced training courses are included in the program of the All-Russian Institute for Advanced Studies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which is located in Domodedovo. Another 12 courses are planned for 150 heads of regional and district migration units.

Now, in a report to the minister on issues that need to be addressed in the near future, it will be proposed to deploy in the capitals federal districts on the basis of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, the Internal Affairs Directorate of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, courses for employees who will be additionally accepted into the migration departments. I think these initial steps will help support decent level personnel qualification issues.

A very sore and even insulting question: why is the Main Directorate for Migration Issues, where, thank God, the best professionals have been retained, deprived of those powers to manage the situation "on the ground" that the director of the FMS used to have?

Alexander Gorovoy: A clear hierarchy has been built in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so each leader has only one superior who has the right to give him instructions that are mandatory for execution. GUVM is structural unit central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, and therefore this Glavk cannot and should not "directly manage" the migration units of the territorial bodies - this would contradict the principle of unity of command and subordination in the internal affairs bodies.

In the regions, the full scope of powers is exercised by the heads of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the regional and district levels. It is on them that the entire responsibility for the situation in the subject lies. Without the last signature of the chief of police, not a single document issued to a migrant is illegitimate.

The Main Directorate for Migration Issues provides organizational and methodological support for the activities of the migration units of territorial bodies - develops regulations, instructions, forms of forms and other documents that are approved by orders of the Minister of Internal Affairs and sent to the heads of territorial bodies for execution.

What do you consider the main achievement of the Ministry in the field of migration over the past two years?

Alexander Gorovoy: Let me emphasize once again that the main thing that has been done during this time is to ensure the quality and high satisfaction of citizens with public services in the field of migration in accordance with the instructions of the President. Almost immediately after the transfer of powers and functions in the field of migration to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, work continued to improve the legal and organizational framework implementation of migration policy. More than 300 regulatory legal acts have been revised, including all 18 administrative regulations for the provision of public services. A number of legislative initiatives have been worked out, including to simplify the procedure for acquiring citizenship by native speakers of the Russian language, the introduction of a notification procedure foreign citizen on stay in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, the development of institutions of residence permits and temporary residence permits, a draft of a new law on asylum in the Russian Federation was prepared.

Today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is working on projects that, on the one hand, will improve the efficiency of control and supervision activities, and on the other hand, optimize a number of administrative procedures, including the acquisition of citizenship of the Russian Federation.

I remember that in the fall of 2016 you gathered the heads of public organizations working with migrants and discussed many pressing problems with us. In particular, you were asked the question: is the Ministry of Internal Affairs going to develop a new Migration Code? You answered that this is a very responsible matter, for which you need to seriously prepare. And now the Ministry of Internal Affairs is already working on the Code?

Alexander Gorovoy: We do not remove the task of preparing the Migration Code, but we will start its active formation together with other federal bodies after approval new edition Concepts of the state migration policy of the Russian Federation. In April of this year, the Council of Heads of Migration Authorities of the CIS states was held in Kazakhstan. Issues of unification of the legislation of the CIS states, issues of combating illegal migration, issues of combining databases of lost and invalidated identity documents were considered. They also discussed the model code of the CIS states. And so I must say that we see the main task in attracting highly qualified and demanded migrants to the country.

The needs for them should be determined by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation together with the heads of the subjects who have all the necessary powers and detailed information to resolve these issues. An important implementation mechanism here is also the organized recruitment of labor migrants from the CIS countries. We see the creation of the necessary conditions for students studying at our leading universities, including through the acquisition of Russian citizenship in a simplified manner, as another incentive to attract migrants. It is necessary to solve the problem of stateless persons living in Russia for a long time without documents - the corresponding bill has already been developed by the Ministry. These are the most general approaches to Russia's migration policy that we are working on today.

I express the opinion of many human rights activists: it is necessary that the legislation should have a different approach to migrants who come to live in Russia, and to temporary labor migrants. It is very strange that in the migration cards such purpose of entry as "permanent residence" is not indicated.

Alexander Gorovoy: Your question sounds a little strange to me. Life circumstances adjustments may be made and the migrant worker may apply for a temporary residence permit. In turn, a compatriot, already on the territory of Russia with a private purpose, can apply for participation in the State Program. All relevant legal norms are in force and enable citizens to change their legal status based on specific circumstances.

The main task is to attract highly qualified and demanded migrants to the country

Isn't it outrageous that the ninety-one hundred and eighty rule applies equally to both temporary labor migrants and compatriots who have come for permanent residence? In accordance with the law, a migrant is obliged to issue some kind of legal status within 90 days after arrival (TRP - temporary residence permit, labor patent, study, etc.), and if he does not have time to do this, he will have to leave Russia and live outside of it for the next 90 days. But if a labor migrant can return home, then the family of migrants who did not have time to issue documents (due to the lack of any certificate or huge queues) has nowhere to return, housing has been sold, all human ties have been cut off. And they are told: “Leave, then you will enter…” This is absurdity and mockery, you will agree. Worldwide, this 90/180 rule only applies to guest workers.

Alexander Gorovoy: We can extend the period of stay of a foreign citizen in Russia for more than 90 days. The following circumstances may serve as grounds: the submission of documents for a temporary residence permit, asylum, a disease that requires urgent treatment, etc. However, it should be noted that we cannot allow all persons who have not legalized within 90 days to stay in Russia for a long time your stay. We still need to understand that the security of citizens and the state directly depends on who comes to us and for what purposes.

Do you agree, Alexander Vladimirovich, that our legislation on citizenship should have a repatriation orientation?

Alexander Gorovoy: Since the beginning of the 90s of the last century, our legislation has been of a repatriation nature and partly retains this property today. More than 7 million people during this period of time were admitted to the citizenship of the Russian Federation. There are discussions in society that it is necessary to simplify the procedures for acquiring citizenship by our compatriots. I believe that the State program to assist voluntary resettlement in the Russian Federation of compatriots living abroad meets this goal.

Within the framework of regional resettlement programs, the subjects carry out a number of activities to provide support to participants State program and members of their families. Despite the fact that these activities are co-financed from the federal budget, the main burden falls on the budgets of the regions. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation, when accepting compatriots, first of all take into account the interests of citizens living in this region, so that the reception of immigrants does not lead to a violation of the labor and other legal rights of the local population.

Today we continue to work on improving the legislation. In particular, a draft law is being prepared to simplify the acquisition of citizenship by native speakers of the Russian language, as well as participants in the Compatriots State Program.

In general, a lot of work has been done over the past two years. I am grateful to the employees and heads of departments who honestly and conscientiously fulfill their duties. There is still a lot to be done to improve the migration legislation, strengthen the material and resource component, maintain and develop information systems involved in the provision of public services.

How to obtain Russian citizenship in the section "Legal advice" expert "RG"

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, prepared a draft order, according to which additional official salary operatives who communicate with secret agents and informants.

According to Life, in recent years, experienced operatives have begun to leave the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, designed to fight murderers, swindlers, thieves, extremists and terrorists.

In order to support the officers with the ruble, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kolokoltsev prepared a draft amendment to Order No. 65 of January 31, 2013 "On the procedure for providing monetary allowances to employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation."

According to the proposal of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kolokoltsev, operatives working with "secret agents" will be paid monthly bonuses in the amount of their official salary for the risk.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, now the official salary of an operational officer is from 18 to 25 thousand rubles, depending on the length of service and the region in which the officer serves.

In Moscow, the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, the official salary is higher than in all other regions, - says Life's interlocutor from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation who is familiar with the situation.

According to him, now the shortage of personnel in the capital's police is about 3.5 thousand people, and in Russia as a whole this figure can reach up to 30 thousand people.

Mikhail Pashkin, chairman of the coordinating council of the Moscow Interregional Police Trade Union, told Life that Vladimir Kolokoltsev's order to pay additional salaries to operatives for working with agents was a forced measure.

The minister, as a former operative, realized that it was time to save the situation. To keep detective professionals in the authorities and not to lose the agent network that has been developed for decades, - Mikhail Pashkin claims.

According to Pashkin, the operatives, due to a lot of paperwork, simply stopped officially reporting to their superiors on their work with agents.

Indeed, according to the law, an operational personal file is opened for each agent, where the operative is obliged to file all reports on meetings with his principal. And the chief of the operative checks these cases and informs his leadership about the work of the service with the recruited agents, - says the trade union leader of the police.

So the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs decided to stimulate the operational staff with the ruble. On average, a police officer in a criminal investigation receives 50,000 rubles. Half of the salary is the official salary. This means that now the officer will receive 75 thousand, if he decides, of course, to start officially meeting with his agents and writing reports to the leadership, ”says Pashkin.

According to Life, every year all Russian security forces spend hundreds of millions of rubles on paying secret informants.

Yes, unfortunately, without volunteers can not do. They were in the tsarist secret police, in the Soviet police, and now they remain in the Russian police. But informers always received money for their work, - says one of the operatives of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the city of Moscow.

According to the detective, many crimes are solved thanks to the help of informants, but ordinary citizens can only guess about this. After all, all the activities of the informer are secret.

Agents are the holy of holies of detective work, and when you understand that the information received from an informer is very valuable, then you can pay for it with budget money, and many work for an idea, ”says the policeman.

In the summer of 2017, in the Vladimir region, it was thanks to police agents that Alexander Sharapov, a member of the bloodiest Orekhovo-Medvedkovskaya organized criminal group in Russian criminal history, was detained hiding from the investigation for almost 20 years.

On account of Alexander Sharapov five murders, among which there is the murder of one of the most famous killers in Russia - Alexander Solonik (Sasha of Macedon).

The policemen interviewed by Life consider the initiative of the head of the department on additional payments for working with informants to be correct.

Any risk, and especially those associated with human life, must be paid for, the officer says. - After all, communication with agents is really life-threatening. There were cases when assistants to the opera during sincere conversations became enemies and tea drinking ended in bloodshed, in which an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not always win.

Life sent a request to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation with a request to comment on the initiative of the head of the department, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, on additional payments to operatives working with secret informants. However, Life failed to get an operational comment.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Justice approved the order of the head of the FSB of the Russian Federation on how Pension Fund should take care of the people who collaborated with the special services. After the transfer of such information to the Pension Fund, the period of cooperation of a citizen will be counted in the length of service. Thus, secret employees will receive a pension.

In July 2015, an updated law on operational-investigative activities came into force, which made it clearer that citizens cooperating with the security forces are entitled to claim a pension. Each department that is engaged in operational-search activities must approve the procedure for transferring information about the length of service to social services. One of the authors of the law on pensions for tacit cooperation was a deputy from United Russia, Irina Yarovaya.

The reduction of 10 thousand positions in the system became unpleasant New Year's gift for traffic police officers. For many, the reduction of a huge staff at the expense of one of the department's most understaffed structures came as an unpleasant surprise.

Confirming On January 9, earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs only stated the fact itself, but did not say anything about the motives for such a decision, giving rise to many versions up to a new wave of rumors about the reorganization of the State traffic inspectorate.

"Gazeta.Ru" turned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a request to comment on the situation with personnel changes. And if last fall, in response to a question about the reasons for the sudden, before a special order from the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (this decision was the forerunner of the New Year's reduction), the department said that this information was classified for official use, this time the Ministry of Internal Affairs provided a detailed commentary.

“We inform you that due to changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation and the transfer of functions for fixing offenses on the road to the competence of other federal executive bodies, a reduction in the staffing level of employees of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation

is carried out in the subdivisions of the traffic police, traffic police of the traffic police of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, ”says the response signed by the acting head of the Department for interaction with civil society institutions and the media V.V. Kolesnik.

“Issues of determining the criteria for dismissal from service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation of employees are within the competence of the heads of territorial bodies of the regional level. Since the current shortfall in the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is much higher than the number of positions being reduced, all dismissed employees have a real opportunity for further employment in the internal affairs bodies. At the same time, they will be dismissed only in the event of a personal refusal to continue serving in the proposed vacant positions. At the same time, understaffed positions are subject to priority reduction in these units,” Kolesnik said.

According to Gazeta.Ru, all the planned cuts in the regions have already been officially carried out and registered - now this information is being gradually brought to the attention of local employees.

In practice, the picture turned out to be very heterogeneous.

Somewhere managed to save almost all employees by cutting off the empty ones vacancies, somewhere they are removing “armchair” employees, shifting their duties to the few remaining, and somewhere “under the knife” are employees directly working on the streets - because of this, a number of departments, especially in large cities, are either disbanded or completely reformat.

There is no one to take the authority to fix

From the answer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the reasons for the cuts, it is not completely clear whether we are talking about some kind of legislative acts related to the execution of the aforementioned transfer of authority to fix traffic violations, or some others. Most likely, it is based on the government bill on the transfer of powers to record and process violations to the regions, which was adopted in the first reading at the end of 2017. Nevertheless, the reason stated in the Ministry of Internal Affairs raises certain questions - the law is only at the adoption stage, and all cuts have already been made. Moreover, as already noted,

any vacant positions, mostly unrelated to the issues of fixing violations, fell under the reduction, and most of the reduced “live” employees had nothing to do with issuing fines from cameras and were engaged in a variety of functions that no one plans to take away from the traffic police yet.

“The Ministry of Internal Affairs is implementing a dead-end concept for the transfer of powers to executive authorities, in my opinion, it is completely wrong and even vicious. I want to remind you that this idea itself was due to the fact that the Moscow traffic police at some point ceased to cope with the flow of photo and video recording data. I had an official response from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that until April, I don’t remember what year it was, there really were problems, but then everything got better and 100% of the flow of fines was processed. That is, the reason for the transfer of authority was temporary, and in the end it was eliminated, ”he says. “But even if such problems arise in the region, the simplest thing is to return to “horizontal” financing, when the executive authorities provided the material, technical and financial support for the traffic police. That is, the local authorities always have the opportunity to find some kind of premises, give additional rates and solve this problem. Then trained people who knew the laws and took the oath would have remained in the field. And now we are proposing to take it away from them and hand it over to people from the street in the truest sense of the word. They are not trained, they do not have access to state secrets.”

According to Lysakov, one of the real reasons for cuts in the traffic police is the desire to cut budget spending.

“But the quality suffers, in fact, there is a creeping destruction of the State traffic inspectorate. We believed in the vicious idea that we will cover everything with cameras, and there will automatically be fines, why do we need traffic cops. But it turns out that the information from the cameras must be read, processed, rejected, if necessary. And under this sauce they reduce the traffic police. And who will catch the drunk? Cameras? If a person is inadequate to be removed before he rushed through the whole city, sweeping away everything in his path, he must first be stopped, a protocol drawn up and his rights revoked. And the camera, of course, the camera will not do this, in addition, they don’t even deprive you of your rights for violations from the cameras. Therefore, we will now breed complete scumbags who will drive around, pay or not pay fines, and it will simply be impossible to remove them from the road, ”said the parliamentarian

Lysakov admits that for two years he tried to slow down the adoption of a bill on the transfer of powers of the traffic police.

“The government even complained about me personally in the government for this.

And the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if reductions are needed there, it would be better to reduce the economic apparatus instead of removing those who are “on the ground”. This is madness, ”said the interlocutor of Gazeta.Ru. According to him, an explanation was found for the transfer of authority to the traffic police - "they say, the regions themselves are asking." However, during a preliminary survey of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, most of the regions spoke out against taking these powers, “we need money, we need to train people, a lot of expenses,” the deputy said.

The MP recalled that

Previously, the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had been categorically against the transfer of its powers to the subjects of the federation for more than one year.

In particular, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was in charge of the traffic police at one time, was categorically against it, as was the head of the traffic police. “Gorovoy and his protege Chernikov came, and the position changed dramatically. So no matter what they say, the service is being destroyed. There are good inspectors, there are not very good ones, but this is a security service that should stop gross violations, stop them, record them, ”Lysakov said.

Alexander, the head of the expert center Probok.net, close to government structures, on the contrary, supports the transfer of authority from the traffic police. “Practice, albeit on the example of Moscow alone, shows that the regions do this work more efficiently, this is approximately the same as a private owner compared to a state one.

Another question is that, apart from Moscow and St. Petersburg, there are not many regions in general capable of taking on such powers, so you need to act carefully here. And if this is absolutely necessary in Moscow, then even in the case of St. Petersburg, I would first try some kind of pilot project, because the situation in different regions is very different.

Moscow managed to agree on the administration of paid parking and a number of traffic violations, but somewhere local authorities they simply could not do it, because in the provinces one can often find a situation where people are afraid to take responsibility, even when they have such powers. But this process needs to be started and go in this direction,” the expert noted.

February 2015 turned out to be very unfortunate for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia: the leadership almost completely stopped paying bonuses and limited the travel of police officers abroad. Since February 1, no new employees have been recruited, and a ten percent reduction in personnel is expected in the near future.

Our ranks are thinning

Perhaps, State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein reacted most loudly to the worsening situation of the police, sending a detailed letter to Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev.

“The reduction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has begun! - Khinshtein writes on February 7 in his Twitter. - An order of V. Kolokoltsev was sent around the country: a ban on recruitment and bringing the shortage of personnel to 10 percent. Yes, formally there is no order to reduce. But the same desired 10 percent will be cut off by artificially creating shortages. It will be cut later."

According to Khinshtein, today there is a shortage (unemployed positions) in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a whole in the country is up to 3 percent.

Service in the police, after the recent reform and salary increase, is a rather prestigious view labor activity. And now, according to Alexander Khinshtein's calculations, up to seventy thousand people can become unemployed.

A Lenta.ru source in law enforcement agencies notes that in the capital, the share of unoccupied positions is slightly higher - 5 percent. If the order for a 10% reduction is nevertheless received, about 7,000 employees will be sent to resign.

Norms are not a decree for us

During the 2011 reform, the police underwent a 20% reduction in personnel. According to a number of trade unionists, those who have kept their jobs now have to work day and night to meet a variety of indicators that are only increasing year by year.

Here, for example, precinct. Ten years ago, there was an order in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that determined the degree of load on each Aniskin. The district officer was supposed to serve 3,500 residents, the senior district officer - 1,500. These figures are not taken from the ceiling, but the result of an analysis of many years of experience.

Since then, the same Moscow garrison has suffered two large-scale reductions and has decreased by almost 40,000 people. And the population of Moscow has only increased over these ten years. The standards were revised, and then completely sunk into oblivion.

Today, the workload of 6,000 people per district police officer is considered quite acceptable in the capital.

Chairman Coordinating Council The Moscow Police Union, retired police captain Mikhail Pashkin is concerned about the future of the reduced law enforcement officers.

“Now security firms have nothing to protect, and it is not known where people who know how to handle weapons will go. Maybe they will go to Donbass, maybe they will create gangs, maybe something else, because former employees police are not particularly hired by commercial organizations,” Pashkin said in an interview with the Govorit Moskva radio station.

Chance for change for the better

Few, however, share his anxieties. Private security organizations, according to rumors, on the contrary, are happy about the upcoming layoffs in the police department - now they will be able to rejuvenate their personnel.

The official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Andriy Pilipchuk, answers questions from journalists that a large-scale reduction in police officers is a rumor, not a reality. The leadership of the department stands up for its employees and will not cut them to the quick. There is a certain cost optimization plan, the main goal of which is to maintain the proper level of efficiency and combat effectiveness.

“Even with a 10% reduction in personnel, dictated by the real need to reduce budget expenditures, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can not only maintain the current level of order and security in the country, but also reach a qualitative level. new stage development, - Oleg Tyutenkov, ex-investigator of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, told Lente.ru. - The need will force the leadership of the department to start wide implementation electronic document management, reducing overly bloated reporting and intermediate management. The police can become more mobile, faster and more efficient. I think that Vladimir Kolokoltsev is quite up to the role of a revolutionary optimizer. He has determination and wisdom."

Are they no longer taken to the police?

Since February 1, the recruitment of new personnel in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has indeed been suspended, but this does not apply to applicants from departmental universities.

This summer, 300 first-year students will come to the Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the fall, they will take the oath and receive the rank of private police.

“There is a special formula that calculates the approximate number of police officers who retire or go on maternity leave in a few years. This figure is sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and on its basis the required number of first-year students is determined. So parents do not have to worry: their children, who entered a departmental university, will be guaranteed to be employed, ”the head of the Department explained to Lente.ru vocational training Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow, colonel of the internal service Andrey Bukhanov.

Restrictions on police recruitment, according to experts, are a temporary measure, which in itself entails a reduction in staff. After all, no one stopped the process of dismissal, sluggishly ongoing on a daily basis. Perhaps precisely in order to speed up this natural loss and introduced a ban on employees traveling abroad.

Resting at home

The minister's order prohibits all certified police officers from leaving the country, with the exception of travel to the CIS countries, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

This, according to media reports, is not about an order, but about an indication. This document is not publicly available.

Not only employees with access to top secret information were banned from leaving, but everyone who wears shoulder straps. Freelance workers were not affected by these restrictions.

It is difficult to judge what caused such a ban, but this is the next stage in the development of a trend that emerged several years ago. Last year, the departure of employees of the internal affairs bodies abroad was possible only with the written permission of the leadership. Previously, there was an order not to disclose abroad their affiliation to Russian law enforcement structures. Prior to this order, in the same Crimea (still part of Ukraine), Russian policemen put arrival and departure marks on their vacation certificates with local law enforcement officers.

“Many police officers take vacations during the cold season. Now they have lost the opportunity to have a well-deserved rest under the warm sun with their families. What is the fault of their relatives and friends? - Anton Tsvetkov, a human rights activist and head of the All-Russian public organization Officers of Russia, tells Lente.ru. “So far I have not heard any noteworthy arguments in favor of such restrictions.”

It is still unknown whether the departmental order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs applies to customs officers at airports. To do this, an interdepartmental decision must be made at the level of the government of the country - or an appropriate law.

It is possible that the most cunning police officers will simply hide their affiliation with the internal affairs bodies and come up with various tricks.

Previously, travel restrictions applied to employees with access to information classified as "top secret", but some of them simply ignored departmental restrictions, hoping to keep their travels secret. A law enforcement source told Lenta.ru that one of these “not allowed to travel abroad” continued to refuse and deny, even when the boss poked him in the face with fine receipts for traffic violations sent from the European Union.

However, honest law enforcement officers may simply not have enough money for foreign trips. After all, bonus payments and financial assistance in the ministry since January 1 are significantly limited. And for one salary, in terms of foreign currency, there is nothing to do abroad.

“The decision to restrict travel abroad was accepted by the police officers with understanding,” summed up the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. “Since police officers are in the civil service, this imposes a special responsibility on them, including a number of restrictions in certain circumstances.”

Vladimir CHUGUNOV:
“There can be no secondary issues in the work with personnel”

On April 13, 2009, the head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for Moscow, Colonel-General of Militia Vladimir Pronin, held an operational meeting of the leadership of the head office. As part of the discussion of the issue of the state of work with personnel, the deputy head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for the city of Moscow, Major General of Militia Vladimir Chugunov, made a keynote speech. Here are the abstracts of his speech.

At the expanded board of the head office in January of this year, problematic issues of staffing were discussed and specific tasks were set to reduce shortages and strengthen service discipline. The results of the work for the first quarter allow us to draw certain conclusions on their implementation. I will stop at key points which must be taken into account first.

Since the beginning of the year, more than 2.5 thousand citizens have been recruited, dismissed various grounds 982 employees. The shortage in general for the Central Internal Affairs Directorate amounted to 4.5%. A significant amount of work has been carried out on the reassignment for further service of employees who are at the disposal of the personnel apparatus as a result of past organizational events. A total of 6,067 employees were employed, to resolve the issue of employment of 182 employees, their personal files were sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of other regions, 350 people, unfortunately, had to be fired.

Priority official activity personnel apparatus of the district ATC is the implementation of measures aimed at ensuring the sustainable recruitment of regiments (battalions) of the police patrol service.

During the period that has passed since the reorganization, 2178 people were appointed to the regiments (battalions) of the PPSM, 200 were dismissed, 115 were seconded, 1430 positions (21.6%) remain vacant, of which 28 are command personnel. In Zelenograd, the PPSM battalion is fully staffed. In the remaining districts, the shortage of regiments (battalions) ranges from 10.1% (Northern District) to 31% ( Southwestern District). In total, almost 2 thousand candidates were selected in the districts to fill vacant positions in the regiments (battalions) of the PPSM. Since January 1, 2009, the number of vacancies in these divisions has been reduced by 15.7%. If the positive trend in the selection of personnel for the regiments continues in the future, there is reason to believe that the task set by the head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of staffing the regiments (battalions) by July 1 of this year will be completed by the district departments.

There have been positive trends to reduce shortages and increase the number of newly accepted young recruits. The overall result of recruitment in the districts increased by 43%, for the apparatus and subordinate units of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate - by 8%. However, it is premature to talk about significant positive changes in the personnel situation. In a number of subdivisions of the apparatus of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, district Internal Affairs Directorates, the solution of recruitment issues remains ineffective.

District departments of internal affairs are not fully fulfilling the task of staffing units. The greatest shortage of personnel in the Internal Affairs Directorate in the Eastern, Southwestern and Southeastern districts.

Since the beginning of this year, the shortage has increased in 43 departments of internal affairs. As of April 1, in 16 departments of internal affairs, the number of unfilled vacancies exceeded 5%. Of the 127 departments of internal affairs in 43, the number of those dismissed exceeded the number of recruits.

The reason for this situation is the insufficient influence of the administrative apparatus on the state of affairs in the territorial departments, the lack of the necessary demands on subordinate leaders for the assigned areas of work.

In district administrations, work with a reserve of leading personnel is inefficient. The instruction of the head of the central office dated February 10 of the current year to fill the vacant positions of the management staff within two weeks is not being fulfilled.

As of April 1, there are 36 vacant positions in the districts leadership positions, 13 of them have not been replaced since last year (Central, North-Eastern, Eastern, South-Western, Western and Northern districts).

I suggest that the chiefs of the Internal Affairs Directorate of administrative districts take immediate measures to appoint leaders from the available reserve.

In the second quarter, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, including the Moscow Military District, will undergo a reorganization of military units, which will result in the release of more than 20,000 highly qualified servicemen who have not served their terms.

It is necessary to organize in the military commissariats in the serviced territory work with each dismissed serviceman for the purpose of hiring for service in the internal affairs bodies, taking into account the available education, for the positions of commanding, commanding and enlisted personnel instead of employees who are unable to provide the assigned area of work. A corresponding letter on assistance in working with military personnel was sent on April 6 to the Military Commissariat of Moscow.

It is necessary to put things in order in the service teams, clear the ranks of the police from employees who systematically violate official discipline and have unsatisfactory results of their work.

Unfortunately, the unprecedented measures taken for the social protection of personnel have not yet indicated a trend towards a change for the better in the state of law and service discipline.

If in February of this year there was a decrease in the number of employees brought to disciplinary responsibility, then in the first quarter it increased by 7%. 654 leaders were punished. In the ATC for the ZAO their number reached 95, and in the ATC for the SAO - 78.

Despite a slight decrease (from 44 to 36) in the number of traffic accidents committed through the fault of employees, this problem is still acute.

Only during the period from 28 to 31 March, three police officers and one civilian died in an accident.

So, on March 28, 2009, at the 52nd km of the Leningradskoye Highway, the inspector of the traffic police of the OGIBDD ATC for the North-West Administrative District Solovyov, in his free time, driving his personal car, drove into the oncoming lane, collided with two cars, and died from his injuries in place.

On March 31 of the current year, for the same reasons (driving into the oncoming lane), an employee of the same subdivision of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the North-West Administrative District Santalov died, and his colleagues Polyakov and Zinovenko, who were returning with him in a car from Solovyov’s funeral, were seriously injured. On the same day, Kovlagin, the district police officer in the Ramenki district, who was in his free time in uniform, drove his personal car in the Volokolamsk district of the Moscow region, also drove into the oncoming traffic lane. As a result of the accident, Kovlagin himself and his father, who was traveling with him as a passenger, died.

The day before, located in next vacation Mitin, a police officer of the PPSM regiment of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District, in a state of alcoholic intoxication in his personal car, collided with the next car in front, tried to escape, but was detained by traffic police.

Only in 5 days (from March 25 to April 1) for driving while intoxicated and refusing a medical examination, 12 (!) employees of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate (UMTIKHO, UVO, 1st and 2nd operational regiments, ATC) were brought to administrative responsibility in Eastern Administrative District, Central Administrative District, Southern Administrative District, Southern Administrative District). Moreover, three employees were detained at the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Southern and South-Eastern administrative districts. But the leaders of these and other departments have repeatedly pointed out the viciousness of the practice of diverting violators from responsibility, it was explained that the dismissal of those who like to drive while drunk is the only effective preventive measure to prevent accidents with serious consequences.

Ignoring the requirements of the order of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate No. 173-2005, instructions and decisions of the operational meetings of the leadership of the Main Directorate, showing unscrupulousness, a number of leaders do not exercise personal control over the conduct of office checks on the facts of driving while intoxicated, entrusting their conduct to employees who do not have sufficient knowledge and authority. As a result, the deadlines for inspections are artificially delayed, instead of being dismissed from the internal affairs bodies, measures of the so-called “public influence” are completely unreasonably taken, which gives rise to a sense of impunity and permissiveness in malicious violators and their colleagues. The unwillingness to ensure the inevitability of punishment creates mutual responsibility, which corrupts the personnel and pushes them to new violations.

At the moment, the number of employees brought to administrative responsibility for various traffic violations amounted to 955 people, of which 72 were for driving while intoxicated or refusing to be examined. articles 12.8 and 12.26, in the ATC for the HLW - 8, for the SWAD - 7.

At the same time, not a single malicious violator was fired in the Internal Affairs Directorate for the North-Eastern and South-Western Administrative Districts, and only two were brought to disciplinary responsibility (both in the Internal Affairs Directorate for the North-East Administrative District).

With such a position of the leadership of these and most other units, employees and citizens will continue to die and be injured on the roads, and the Central Internal Affairs Directorate will suffer material damage from smashed cars.

All this is reflected in the media, undermines the authority of the police as a structure of state power.

Since April, a mobile group has begun its work to check compliance with road traffic discipline and prevent traffic violations. It included employees of the CTO, UGIBDD, CSS, ILS and employees of the Medical Unit. Already the first trips of the group showed that the scope of its activities in terms of identifying various violations will not be limited only to vehicles. For example, on April 6, Mitrofanov, an ordinary militia officer, was identified in the PPSM regiment of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the SAO, who, according to preliminary data, was in a state of drug intoxication. If not for this check, he would calmly go on the route. How it would end is unknown. And this situation is not only in this unit. This is evidenced by an order of magnitude increased number of citizens' complaints about the "02" service. Why do commanders and chiefs not see (or do not want to see) who enters their service? With such an attitude to the matter, no mobile groups of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate will be enough.

One can continue to give examples of violations of discipline and betrayal of the interests of the service. There are many more of them than are reflected in the daily reports and special messages. Unfortunately, the practice of silence is firmly rooted in many units. Such a position is not only short-sighted, but entails the commission of crimes by personnel, and as a result, public outcry.

The increased public danger of violations of official discipline and the rule of law, numerous emergency incidents committed by employees necessitate the use of all available measures to prevent such manifestations. One of them should be the commissions on service discipline and professional ethics. But, as checks show, the work of these formations is not properly organized everywhere. For example, in the PPSM regiment of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District and the Department of Internal Affairs for the Marfino District (SVAO), meetings of the commissions, despite the significant number of incidents in these units, are not held. In the Department of Internal Affairs for the Lomonosovsky District (SWAO), the commission has not been formed at all. Its functions are performed by modified "courts of honor" of ordinary and junior, middle and senior command personnel.

The decisions taken by the commissions often do not fall within their competence, for example, on the dismissal of employees from the internal affairs bodies or the imposition of disciplinary sanctions on them.

Today, for a fundamental change in the situation, it is necessary first of all to radically change the attitude of the bulk of leaders (commanders) to the work of educating subordinates, strengthening the rule of law and discipline.

An important area of service activities is the organization of work with "young" employees. Despite the importance of this work, 4 employees who have worked in the Department of Internal Affairs for less than a year have already been dismissed for violation of discipline. In the course of inspections, shortcomings in the organization of mentoring are revealed. So, in the PPSM regiment of the Internal Affairs Directorate for the Central Administrative District, classes on studying the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 24, 2008 No. 1139 “On approval of the regulation on mentoring in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation” were not held, and the commander is waiting for instructions. The employees transferred to a higher position in another service: Bedretdinov, Filyushin, Lyashkov, Mityaev, Romanov and Filatov - were not assigned mentors, although their appointment to new positions is associated with the performance of new job duties that require additional knowledge and practical skills. In addition, the joint service of newly hired employees and assigned

behind them are mentors at posts and routes.

Despite a wide range of social activities being carried out, in a number of divisions, work to ensure guarantees of legal and social protection of employees and members of their families is organized unsatisfactorily. So, for example, the practice of sending primary reports by personnel and educational apparatuses of OMON and OMSN to the Department of Internal Affairs about the time, place and circumstances of injuries (wounds, injuries, contusions), diseases by employees indicates that these units do not comply with the daily deadline for their submission, established by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated September 24, 2007 No. 824.

The quality of fulfillment of the tasks assigned to the Moscow police directly depends on the professional preparedness of the employees.

Therefore, the facts of absenteeism, untimely sending of employees for training, appointment to higher positions of employees who were not in the reserve and did not undergo appropriate training (ATC for the North-East Administrative District, Zelenograd Autonomous Okrug) become intolerable. This practice leads to the fact that employees at the first stage of their activities in new positions cannot effectively perform the tasks facing them.

It is necessary to take immediate measures to eliminate these shortcomings and ensure the timely implementation of all measures aimed at improving the level of professional training.

There are certain problems in the work on recruiting a variable composition of departmental educational institutions associated primarily with low executive discipline department heads.

I would like to remind you once again that there can be no secondary issues in the work with personnel. People are our main reserve in the fight against crime. Working with them has been, is and will be one of the main activities of leaders and commanders at all levels.

Our task in the current difficult conditions is to prevent a personnel crisis in the divisions, to do everything in our power to create optimal conditions for the activities of employees, at the same time to combine concern for personnel with integrity and exactingness for the final results of work to protect residents and guests of the capital from criminal manifestations. I am sure that by joint efforts we will be able to solve the existing problems, and all the necessary conditions today we have.

Summing up the results of the operational meeting, the head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for Moscow, Colonel-General of Militia Vladimir Pronin, set tasks for the heads of services and divisions of the head office to restore order within the system, strictly observe service and road transport discipline, give a fundamental assessment of any violations of discipline, act extremely tough in relation to guilty leaders who, by virtue of their official position, were obliged to take comprehensive measures to eliminate the causes that contribute to the commission of emergency incidents.
