The article is devoted to the changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation relating to the staffing in internal affairs bodies, their selection and training. It analyzes the normative legal acts that regulate the selection of candidates to serve in the bodies of internal affairs. Implementing the functions of personnel selection for the service in internal affairs bodies, personnel officers are guided by the Federal Law “On service in the bodies of internal affairs of the Russian Federation” and a number of other normative legal acts.
