TO THE QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE OF IMPROVEMENT OF POLICULTURAL EDUCATION OF POLICE OFFICERS

Abstract

The article is dedicated to an analysis of a problem of the formation of multicultural education of police officers. Multicultural education is an important part of the prevention of professional deformations of police officers. This is especially true for employees of large cities, where a number of administrative offences and criminal offences are higher among illegal immigrants. Constantly confronting the duty of service with the offences of this category of citizens, employees with a low level of multiculturalism often transfer their own attitude towards offenders on representatives of other nationalities in general, which generates deformity in both professional and personal development. The article proposes theoretical and methodological solutions for the development of multicultural education, based on the gradual process of its formation. The authors conclude that the education of the culture of interethnic relations requires an appeal not only to consciousness, but also to the necessary-meaning sphere of the person, for the change of which also requires a deep influence.
