On this day, I would like to congratulate all the internal body workers on their professional holidays and wish them health and success in their hard work! Your service is dangerous and difficult, and at first glance it seems invisible!
The history of the professional holiday dates back to the Soviet Police Day established by the decree of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on September 26, 1962. Since 1991 it has been called Police Day. The date of the celebration is taken as the day of adoption on November 10 (October 28, old style), 1917, of the decision of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) "On the Workers' Militia", by which the police in Russia received the design of its legislation.
During the Great Patriotic War, almost all policemen wrote reports to the front, and those whom the motherland left to work in the field, mercilessly crushed criminals, robbers and other evil spirits!
The increase in crime and changes in the structure of the police at the end of the 20th century led to the establishment of new units (to fight organized crime, to fight high-tech crimes, etc.).
At the beginning of the 21st century, the historical changes that have taken place in Russia since the beginning of the 1990s required a new definition of the place and principles of activity of the internal bodies in the changing socio-political structure of the country. The previous model of the relationship between the internal bodies and society, based on the priority of state coercion, is outdated. The need for a new legal platform that would meet the modern reality became clear. The existing law "on the police" was repeatedly adjusted, but it did not give the desired results. The Ministry of the Interior (MVD) was tasked with reorganizing the department so that the system would operate in accordance with international legal standards, modern technologies, and respond in an efficient and professional manner to new challenges and threats.
The process of reforming the Russian Ministry of the Interior began with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 24.
