Resumen
The article presents the results of studying the problem of providing police personnel on the basis of the analysis of archival documents. After the curtailment of the policy of repression of 1937-1938 and the release from the duties of the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR Nikolai Yezhov, the police bodies were purged and the subsequent personnel audit revealed a significant number of employees who did not have a professional education. To solve this problem, a comprehensive system of training and retraining of personnel was formed. Ordinary police officers could get all the necessary knowledge through the system of internal course training, which was carried out by the most experienced employees of the units where they served. The average senior staff needed long-term training in special disciplines, including legal and economic ones. The reorganization of inter-regional police schools helped to solve this problem. In the article, the author examines in detail the activities of the Kuibyshev Inter-regional police School, which trained police officers in the Middle Volga region.
