The article is devoted to the questions of service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in the regions of the Far North. The concept, specific features and peculiarities of the Arctic region, its role in the development of modern Russia and influence on the political, economic and social situation in the state are revealed. The author focuses attention on the need for stable functioning of all social systems located in the northern regions, including law enforcement agencies. The existing base of the legislation of the activity of law-enforcement bodies is analyzed and the necessity of legal regulation of passing of this type of service, taking into account the specifics of regional characteristics, is touched upon. Despite the fact that, in general, the activities of the internal affairs bodies are regulated in detail, the legal basis for their functioning practically does not take into account the context of regional conditions, and the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the activity of the internal affairs bodies in the Far North are practically not investigated and are not reflected in legal acts. In addition, the author emphasizes that in modern Russia there is still no normative legal act regulating the use of the shift method, which is actively used in developing the regions of the Far North, and the normative bases approved in 1987 continue to be applied. It is proposed to fix the concept of ‘shift method of service in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation' in the regulatory legal framework.
