Best policing method

Humanization of policing
The Russian Law establishes a new partnership model in the police -
society relations. 
Police - society relations (Chapter 2 of the Law).

 fundamental principles of policing:

 observance and respect for human and civil rights and freedoms (Article 5),
 legality (Article 6),
 impartiality (Article 7),
 transparency and accountability (Article 8),
 public trust (Article 9),
 interaction and cooperation (Article 10)
 Implementation of scientific achievements (Article 11).
These new basic principles of policing are both a conceptual and legal innovation.

Supporting facts

Police in Russia are very corrupt. Between the years of 2004 and 2005 “Interior Ministry statistics show
that crimes perpetrated by police officers rose 46.8 percent. criminal charges, most often relating to
corruption and abuse of office, were brought against 4,269 officials in 2005.” 

A total of “1,270 police constables and 450 higher-ranked policemen had been charged in 2005 for
covering up crimes”. Things are so bad that, former president Vladimir Putin fired the prosecutor general
in June 2006 because he was “dissatisfied with his "ineffective" efforts to combat corruption.

Main changes and aims of the reform

 Name change. Under the reform, the name of Russian law enforcers was changed from the
Soviet-era term "militsiya" (militia) to the more universal "politsiya" (police) on 1 March 2011.

 Personnel reduction and salary increase. The number of police officers was reduced by 20%,
dropping from 1.28 million to 1.1 million by 2012. The reduction was accomplished via a
comprehensive evaluation of all officers. The evaluation was conducted before June 2011, and
those failing the evaluation will end up losing their jobs. All officers who in the past have
received administrative penalties or who have links to the criminal underworld will be fired. [7] For
those officers surviving the reduction, salaries will be increased by 30%.

 Centralisation. As a result of the reform, the Russian police was made a federal-level institution,
with funding accomplished fully from the federal budget. Under the old system, police units
responsible for public order and petty crimes were under the jurisdiction of regional and city
authorities, financed from regional budget and responsible more to the regional governors than to
the federal center.

 Changes to police and detainee rights. According to the new law, the detainee will receive a
right to make a telephone call within 3 hours of the detention. They will also receive the right to
have a lawyer and interpreter from the moment of their detention, and police must inform the

34 | P a g e
 detainee of their rights and duties. The police will lose its right to carry out and demand checks of
a company's financial and business activities. Police may also no longer detain a citizen for an
hour just to verify his identity.

  Police in St. Petersburg carry a Russian-made Makarov pistol.

 Police are poorly paid. They generally earned only about $110 a month from their
salaries in the early 2000s. Many police moonlight as security officers or some other job.
Some quit to become body guards. Other pad their income through corruption. See Below

  Many police are poorly trained. They often don't have guns, handcuffs, vehicles or
computers. In some places they don't even have enough money for uniforms. Police work
can be extremely dangerous, nearly twice as many are killed in the line of duty as in the
United States. Vigilantism is alive in Russia. Some parks in Moscow are watched over by
ultra-nationalist in para-military uniforms.

  Police in Russia and the Soviet Union have traditionally been tough and conspicuous.
Police have been allowed to search without warrants, arrests without charges and stop
people on the streets without justifiable cause. They have also been put in charge of the
prisons. Yeltsin gave the secret police broad powers as part of is his anti-crime initiative.

 Militia is administered at federal, regional, and local levels.

Azerbaijan[edit]
In Azerbaijan, Police Academy was established in 1921 by the people's internal Affairs commissariat of Azerbaijan Republic and it
continued to function till 1936 in Baku. In 1936, the main building of the Academy was moved to Mərdəkan (district around Baku).
In 1957, It became Baku private secondary Police School of USSR MIA. The graduates were granted with high-educated lawyers
diploma. Initially, education was two years here. In 1957-1961 the school trained personnel for Georgia, Dagestan, Kabarda-
Balkaria, Altay, Irkutsk, Krasnodar, Kuybishev, Novosobirsk, Kemerova, Saratov and other cities in the territory of USSR.[1]
The main purpose of the Academy is to prepare educated staff in higher law and organize additional training for employees of the
Ministry of Internal Affairs.
All candidates are expected to pass an entry examination that includes mainly fitness requirements. Male and female students must
pass a fitness test for entering the Academy. A candidate who does not fit in physical fitness requirements, or fail assessments of
selection or medical commissions of MIA is considered to be disqualified from the competition. Being a citizen of the Republic of
Azerbaijan is a must. A candidate with a criminal background cannot qualify for the police force. The successful candidates graduate
from the academy after studying for 5 years.
During the course, the students of Academy are provided with dormitories, uniforms, scholarships, and meals. Boys and girls are
placed in different dormitories located within the territory of the Academy.
After graduation, the candidates get different police ranks and they are assigned to the relevant positions in the departments of
Ministry of Internal Affairs bodies. The Academy also learn the relevant experiences of other countries by sending its employees
to Germany, Austria, England, Spain, Hungary, Poland, as well as Russia and so on.[2]
