FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN STAFFING INVESTIGATIVE UNITS

Abstract

This article presents a comparative legal and organizational-practical analysis of the theoretical-legal foundations of staffing investigative divisions under internal affairs bodies, drawing upon the foreign experience of leading democratic states. The article examines the mechanisms for selection, training, evaluation, and accreditation of investigative personnel in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Canada, and other developed nations. The scientific substantiation emphasizes the significance of meritocratic principles, competency-based assessment methodologies, portfolio evaluation systems, workplace assessment procedures, leadership development programs, and integrity infrastructure frameworks. Furthermore, the article elucidates the impact of human resource management (HRM) systems, when integrated with internationally recognized human rights standards and principles of accountability, on the quality and effectiveness of investigative activities. Based on the research findings, science-based practical recommendations have been developed to enhance the system of staffing investigative divisions within the Republic of Uzbekistan.
