On the concept and types of law enforcement officials
On the basis of the analysis of normative legal acts and scientific research the author considers the concept of law enforcement official. He also develops a classification of law enforcement officials on various grounds, including the right to implement operative-research activities. It is concluded that there is a logical error in the Federal law «On state protection of judges, law enforcement officials and officials of controlling bodies»: in its provisions officials of state security bodies are highlighted along with law enforcement officials, and that is obviously redundant.
