Legal and Organizational Barriers to Disseminating Positive Experience in Internal Affairs Bodies

Positive experience, its identification and dissemination, are the basis for increasing the efficiency of any organization, especially under conditions of limited resources. At the same time, both theoretical research and practical applications indicate the low effectiveness of this institution within law enforcement agencies. The aim of this study is to identify barriers to the active application of positive experience in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and to develop recommendations for their elimination. The research methodology is based on an analysis of the main scientific provisions regarding positive experience in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, as well as regulatory legal acts that govern this area. The information and empirical basis of the study includes data from statistical reporting and databases of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The object of observation is the activities related to the identification, application, and dissemination of positive experiences by 94 internal affairs agencies at the regional level during the period from 2019 to 2023. The scientific novelty lies in forming an author's vision of positive experiences in law enforcement as one of the elements of an innovative approach that should be developed and integrated into the strategic planning system within internal affairs agencies. The conducted research made it possible to identify problems related to legal regulation and organization of work with positive experience in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which hinder the enhancement of operational and service activities within law enforcement agencies.
