Abstract
A key focus of the modernization of the law-enforcement bodies is to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement activity. Addressing these issues is possible with improving the mechanisms of formation and implementation of social policy in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, in particular concerning social insurance of employees.World experience shows that the system of social insurance - this is one of the major institutions of social policy in a market economy, called to provide the realization of the constitutional right to maintenance in certain cases.The mechanism of compulsory social insurance for employees of law-enforcement bodies has its own characteristics, which consist in objects and subjects of insurance, types of insurance claims, the insurance payments and social security contributions, the financial mechanisms of formation of insurance resources and funding, insurance payments.There are now also developing a program of voluntary social insurance. The practice of foreign countries shows that access to voluntary insurance for citizens at risk is virtually nonexistent. These categories of people are employees of the «power» structures whose professional activity is often associated with the risk to life and health, and that due to the specific service limited opportunities to obtain additional income.Obviously, in the respect of law enforcement officers is a priority system of the state compulsory insurance. The development of this system should move towards improving the legal regulation of the mechanisms of formation and implementation of state personal insurance for employees and improving the mechanisms of choice of insurer.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12731/2218-7405-2013-2-9
