Being a source of protection and safety of citizens, law enforcement agencies ensure compliance with the protection of law and order, legality, protection of human rights and freedoms, which is one of the key responsibilities of the state. That is, they carry out the main task of each political form of organization of society. This determines the social importance and responsibility of the activities of law enforcement agencies around the world, since they are the most important component of the national security of each country.

Creating a resource of respect and civic trust in relation to the actions of law enforcement officials is a prerequisite for ensuring high social efficiency. The trust of citizens in law enforcement officials is a key aspect in the effective functioning of this structure. It is determined by the confidence of citizens in being protected from criminal attacks on their lives, health, interests, property, etc., which is created by a certain image, in some way in the minds of people.

The image of any organization, and even more so the state one, should not consist of certain attributes and characteristics “attributed” by the people, but should be based on the work performed. In 2010, during the discussion of the draft law “On the Police,” President D.A. Medvedev explained that this law has a place to be since “the police are associated with professional people who work efficiently, honestly and harmoniously ... and the police are, in fact, combatants in uniform” [1]. No one at that time understood the essence of this law, which led to indifference towards this reform on the part of citizens, but it was precisely in renaming the «militia» into the police that the head of state saw an increase in the image of law enforcement agencies.

The study of corporate culture and its elements helps to identify problem areas in creating the image of the organization, work with which can positively change the situation. So, cohesion, well-coordinated work of the team is a noticeable part in the work of the organization and affects its image.

Thus, it is corporate culture that gains significant significance, as it evokes respect for the police from citizens and guarantees a good reputation.

Increasing the efficiency of the activities of the internal affairs bodies, creating a good reputation, a positive image and increasing the level of trust of ordinary citizens in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are just some of the tasks facing the modern system of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. The problem of the success of the formation of corporate culture in law enforcement bodies can rightfully be considered relevant. This is primarily due to the attitude of ordinary citizens to this structure, the degree of trust and awareness of all aspects and subtleties in the activities of internal affairs bodies. It is also important for citizens to feel protected, both from direct dangers of their life, and from hidden threats that can be committed by unscrupulous employees of law enforcement agencies.

Traditions, rules, customs, rituals exist and continue to improve in the internal affairs bodies that facilitate the process of adaptation of employees to the external environment, as they are required to agree or at least partially accept these rules. A competent employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be considered only one who recognizes the generally accepted system in his team, the leadership system, communication styles and methods of resolving conflicts, the social position of the individual in the team, accepted symbols, that is: taboos, slogans, rituals.

In the modern world, corporate culture is considered as the main mechanism for the successful implementation of the goals and objectives associated with ensuring the safety of citizens. This also applies to the practical effectiveness of the organization. A developed corporate culture directly affects the motivation of employees, the attractiveness of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as an organization, the business reputation of employees and their moral attitudes. The quality of employee work and the effectiveness of the work performed affects the nature of personal and production relations, the creative potential of employees and the ability to non-standardly solve especially atypical problems, which is a competitive advantage in this area - flexibility and innovation should be mandatory qualities for employees.

As a system, corporate culture is a set of certain blocks, the content of which is determined in the course of its formation and is documented and acts as a documentary at least at the substantial, mental and activity levels.

The existence of a corporate culture outside the mentality of workers makes no sense. This determines what the mental level of corporate culture is advisable to consider as an industry of more complex tasks than as a project development of strategies, regulations, technologies.

Being a source of protection and safety of citizens, law enforcement agencies ensure compliance with the protection of law and order, legality, protection of human rights and freedoms, which is one of the key responsibilities of the state. That is, they carry out the main task of each political form of organization of society. This determines the social importance and responsibility of the activities of law enforcement agencies around the world, since they are the most important component of the national security of each country.

The commitment, motivation of managers and subordinates is a prerequisite for the implementation and effective operation of promising strategies, new programs, more productive standards. The paradigm vector should move towards a development orientation, a transition to new levels of efficiency and new opportunities, as well as devotion to the “high standard” principle, corporate values, and an orientation toward a higher quality of life in general.

For successful integration into the age of new technologies, it is necessary to launch the process of transformation of values - to move from command and administrative management methods to the stage of introducing basic levels of corporate culture at all official levels of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This means that the orientation should not only be to ensure a favorable atmosphere in the team, but also to achieve the intended goals and results of the activities of the structural unit or institution. Typically, such processes are deliberately initiated from above, but they can also form spontaneously from below, from various elements of different structures. It is worth remembering that the results will not be visible immediately, as the corporate culture has its own developmental features that differ from other management systems.

Values are the fundamental element of corporate culture: worldviews and ideas adopted by the institution or institution, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs system. They assure the employee that his occupation meets his own interests and needs and is identified with the interests and needs of the team and society as a whole [2, с. 112].

So, the corporate culture is formed under the influence of many factors and processes, therefore, its change requires the implementation of numerous transformations in various objects of the organization’s. In addition, the formation and development of corporate culture is a long and complex process.

A promising area of scientific research is the study of the impact of the specificity and marginality of the professional activities of law enforcement on the features of the formation and development of corporate culture of the internal organs of the Russian Federation.
