The paper presents a sociological analysis of functioning of the institution of further vocational education of police officers based on the departmental model used in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) of Russia. Method used: a comparative analysis of a monitoring poll of students of the All-Russian Institute for Advanced Training of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the period of 2011 to 2015 with the authors’ poll carried out in 2019 with students of the same institute and its territorial branches as well as of the Retraining and Advanced Training Faculty of Kikot’ Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (N=384). Statistical data resulting from regular monitoring polls carried out in the period of 2011 to 2015 with a sampling of 18.2 thousand participants in training courses of institutional programmes of further vocational education conducted by the All-Russian Institute for Advanced Training of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia as well as the results of sociological research carried out by the authors constitute the information base of this study. Results obtained. Specific opportunities for such development are identified in the work: improving the professional level of officers, sharing of best practice, developing legal competencies, developing social communication with citizens, public associations and the media. Subjective (weak initiative of officers) and objective (institutional centralisation) restrictions for the activities of this institution are identified. Lines for increasing the efficiency of further vocational education in the work of Russia’s police officers are presented: practical orientation of current curricula, increasing the flexibility and variety of training formats.
