The role of additional professional training for the staff of the law enforcement officers of the Russian Federation in improving their culture of building trusting relationships with the population

The research problem and the rationale for its relevance. Relevance of the study is due to the need to maintain a positive image of modern law enforcement officers in an unstable environment in the world, including the Russian Federation. Therefore, special attention should be paid to building public confidence in the activities of law enforcement officers. The system of additional professional education for law enforcement officers plays an important role in this regard. The goal of the research is to substantiate the possibility and expediency of using the resources of advanced training in improving the culture of building trust with the population. Methodology (materials and methods). The provisions of V. N. Myasishchev's concept of the relationship, according to which the individual acts as a transforming subject of reality, became the methodological basis. Based on this approach, the concept of a culture of trust was defined. Theoretical analysis of scientific researches presented in domestic and foreign science (research methods) allowed to come to the characterization of the culture of building trust relationships with the population among law enforcement officers. Results. The study of the current state of the system of additional professional education of law enforcement officers in the Russian Federation led to the conclusion that there is insufficient representation of the issues of improving the communicative competence of these specialists. To fill this gap, the educational module “The Culture of Building Trust” was developed and described. Its practical significance lies in the possibility of its application in educational organizations that raise the qualifications of law enforcement officers. The module differs in its support for interdisciplinary approaches and aims at learning the practical aspects of the work of law enforcement officers with different categories of population.
