The Concept of modernisation of the institute of district police inspectors and strengthening the work on prevention of offences (hereinafter – the Concept) is developed on the initiative of KAZGUU to provide institutional and scientific support for the modernisation of the internal affairs bodies of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The main emphasis in the Concept is placed on the institution of neighbourhood inspectors, as according to the authors, this category of police officers is a system-forming element in the relations between the police and society.

The shortcomings and inefficiency of the existing system of organisation of their activities, according to the authors of the Concept, is the main reason for the lack of qualitatively new positive results in combating crime and the creation of the so-called ‘service model’ of the police.
