The article deals with the problem of creating a system for conducting public accreditation of educational programs in educational organizations of the law enforcement system. The authors formulated proposals on the use of evaluation by independent associations of experts and representatives of the employer when conducting professional public accreditation in the educational organizations of the law enforcement system, taking into account its specific characteristics and conditions of a particular environment. With the participation of the authors, within the framework of the Comprehensive Plan for the Scientific Support of Activities for 2018, a study was conducted to substantiate and provide methodological support for conducting professional public accreditation of educational programs in educational organizations of the law enforcement system. The expected results of the introduction of the institute of professional and public accreditation in the departmental educational organizations are considered: improving the quality of educational programs implemented, the level of organization of staff training, the quality and relevance of educational services, and the image of departmental service.
