ON THE ROLE OF LEGAL CULTURE IN THE PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF EMPLOYEES OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS BODIES
The article examines the issues of organizing and performing service in state bodies performing constitutionally significant functions to ensure public safety, legality and law and order, to combat crime, to protect human and civil rights and freedoms. The author notes the fact that in the emerging system of legal relations and values, the law enforcement service is not considered to a greater extent as a power institution with unlimited repressive potential. However, this institution, on the contrary, is the guarantor of the social and psychological comfort of citizens, since the meaning of law enforcement is to help a person with all permitted forces and means to restore the violated right - including in situations where it is violated by the state itself.
