The Work of Militia
Our militia was created by the working people to protect their rights. The officers of our militia have always displayed courage and heroism in the fight against enemies of our state during the Great Patriotic War as well as in the years of peaceful construction.
The main aim of militia has always been to maintain public order, to protect state and personal property and safeguard the rights of our citizens. Nowadays great attention in the work of militia is paid to prevention of crime, to its suppression. But if a crime has been committed, the militia officers are to solve the crime as quickly as possible. To fulfil these tasks the organs of internal affairs are composed of different departments.
The Criminal Detection Department is one of the most complicated militia services. The main responsibility of the officer of the Criminal Detection Department is to detect the criminal, that is to locate and apprehend him. In many cases the detective must trace a fugitive who is hiding.
The officers of the Criminal Investigation Department collect facts to prove the guilt or innocence of the suspect. The final test of a criminal investigation is in presentation of evidence in court. Corpus delicti must be established, the defendant must be identified and associated with the crime scene. The investigator must also provide competent witnesses.
Economic Crimes Investigation Department fights against those who don't want to live an honest life. The responsibility of the officers of this Department is to reveal the criminal activity of those who commit embezzlement and other economic crimes, bring them to justice.

The Russian Militia was established on November 10th, 1917. Our Militia is to deal with many problems and all of them are of great importance. It is effective law enforcement, educational and preventive work that are to be in the center of activities of militia agencies at our time. Militia stations are in continuous operation of crime prevention; crime investigation and crime solution, day and night patrol service, traffic safety and problems of juvenile delinquency, organized crime and racketeering. One of the main tasks of our Militia is to improve militia-public relations; to increase public’s trust and sense of security. Another problem of our Militia now is to combat modern crime, i. e. spread of drugs, drug-related crimes, crimes relating to money and terrorism. The service in the Militia is difficult and dangerous, but it is necessary and honorable, because all the militia officers are to protest life, work and rest of our people. Quite a lot of people work as investigators in the organs of the Militia or of the Prosecutor’s Office. That’s why the duty of an investigator is to search for the truth, for the offender, for witnesses who help to reconstruct the happening and will present evidence of it in court. The investigator must be able to make a searching inquiry into the facts surrounding the commission of the crime or economic offence, i. e. what it is, where it was, who the offender was, when, why and how he was committing the crime.
