SOME PROBLEMS OF ACTIVITIES OF THE UNITS OF FIRE PROTECTION DEPARTMENTS OF THE FPS OF RUSSIA
The article deals with the problems of administrative activities of the units of fire protection de- partments of the FPS of Russia.The efficiency of the government fire supervision is greatly affected by the status of regulations in the sphere of fire safety. At present, the main requirements to fire safety are dispersed in a large body of regulatory and technical documents. A considerable amount of such information as well as the numerous alterations constantly introduced into regulating documents significantly complicate the work of the employees supervising fire safe- ty, therefore the quality of their work tends to deteriorate. In this connection, the author believes that it is neces- sary to arrange some methodological supply of the law-enforcement activities of the supervisory staff.The other problem is the necessity to improve legal training of the staff. The analysis of administrative and legal activities of the units of fire protection departments reveals that many inspectors carrying out fire supervi- sion have an inadequate level of administrative and legal training. It can be explained by the fact that most em- ployees of such units have come to these bodies from the other departments (including the penal system), and in their professional training they place emphasis on studying the technical regulations and instructions, without paying sufficient attention to the legal aspects.
