Since March 2011, the Russian Federation enacted a law "On Police".It has caused a lot of controversy, rumors and widely discussed by the public.The word "police" often provoked negative emotions.Slandered and unjustly humiliated by law enforcement bodies of the Russian Empire - the police - almost all works of art, including film and literature, presented bullies, satraps and stranglers of freedom that carried the people, of course, Leninist Bolsheviks, repairing the references to children skating and plenty to the belovedhobbies - hunting.Yes, in general, the flaws were in the king's police.
Also during World War II the German invaders created from local people who clicked on their side, for the protection of the formation of a "new order", which is also called the police.Needless to say that the very sound of the word for many of our fellow citizens were not very "nice".
However, the meaning is still "police" as a public authority is protected by law, - the notion of a more correct than "police", ie the time paramilitary volunteer units created in some countries in troubled times for them.
Moreover, this name change, according to the creators of the law was to give new meaning to the law enforcement service.It was accompanied by a major readjustment of personnel, increase cash salary and professional requirements for employees.
ranks in the police remained virtually unchanged and generally correspond to the army.The rank and file continued to call ordinary and lieutenant general - lieutenant general.
overall design borrowed from the Soviet Army and the police, who in turn felt the continuity of pre-revolutionary insignia, which was manifested in asterisks, "gaps" in the officers and zigzags to the rank of general.Legislators did not seek a direct analogy with the tsarist police, so the police ranks in Russia does not sound as archaic as the "policeman", "collegiate assessor" or "the court counselor."Apparently, to get used to the hierarchy that is different from the military, it would be difficult, and by the staff, and the population of the country.Although there is also its own system of lawyers ...
next rank in the police are assigned according to seniority and level of special education.For example, employees with a high school diploma, but not later promoted to major profile unlikely.After the higher police school or the law department if there were no "zaletov" junior lieutenant in the run usually a year, in the senior - two captains in - three in the majors - four years.Five years, you can be a lieutenant colonel, and as much as necessary - a colonel.There is already a common rank in the police end.It's all about the position, but it should be the general's.If there is happiness, it is possible to dream of a "striped pants".
So, getting a high rank in the police of the Russian Federation - a realistic goal, and it can be achieved through a decade and a half after the entry into service of a modest second lieutenant.Hopefully, such a career of "light" honest, decent and educated people.
Apparently, the currently accepted system is completely rational and ranks in the police force will remain unchanged for a long time.
