The work of employees of the internal security units of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation (USB) cannot be called simple, because they identify crimes among those who are supposed to protect us from criminals - among police officers, their colleagues However, it is these specialists that largely determine the effectiveness of the entire system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, and therefore the degree of security of both society and the state The first analogues of CSS appeared in the USSR shortly after the revolution In February 1924, an order was issued by the OGPU under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on the creation of so-called battalions for working with personnel Then a corresponding position appears - “specially authorized” After about ten years, their duties were transferred to the apparatus of the special department of the NKVD, whose functionality was to check and, if necessary, investigate cases about its employees In 1941, the Special Inspectorate of the Personnel Department of the NKVD appeared, and in the post-war years, independent Special Inspections appeared in the central apparatus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and locally The staff of such inspections includes both detectives and investigators In 1957, changes occur again - Special Inspections are renamed Personnel Inspections and their responsibilities are expanded to consider complaints against police officers and investigate their offenses and abuse of power The CSS in the modern sense was formed relatively recently - on December 18, 1995 At the same time, the creation of departments of the “newborn” service began, and soon the organization received its modern official name - CSS of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation It was the day of the creation of the modern CSS, December 18, that was approved by order of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs as the Day of the internal security units of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation On this day, veterans and current employees of CSS departments receive congratulations from their colleagues from other departments, and also accept well-deserved bonuses and awards from their superiors
