REFLECTIONS ON THE STAFFING UNITS OF INVESTIGATIVE DIVISIONS OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS BODIES

Abstract

This article provides a scientific and theoretical analysis of the legal nature of staffing units in investigative divisions of internal affairs bodies, as well as the need to determine them on the basis of workload, crime dynamics, the complexity of procedural tasks, and criteria for ensuring human rights. The article substantiates that a staffing unit is not merely an administrative position, but also an institutional guarantee for ensuring the quality of investigation, procedural independence, a professional culture of working with evidence, and public trust. Based on national legislation, the tasks outlined by President Sh.M. Mirziyoyev in the field of investigation, the theoretical views of Uzbek scholars, and the experience of the United Kingdom, the United States, and international organizations, the article develops scientific proposals for improving the staffing structure of investigative divisions.
