Organizational Principles for Information Departments Services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Processes of the De-occupation

Abstract

The article considers the organizational capacity of information services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine to implement information and communication support for de-occupation process, the need for which arises as one of topical issues of modern domestic political reality. Specific tasks facing state information services covered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine are thoroughly analyzed. Particular attention is also given to the structure and practical activities of a Joint information and communication center, which mission is information support of law enforcement agencies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. In the context of actualization among the various strata of the population of Ukraine of the theme of the fastest de-occupation of the captured territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, systemic training for a multi-vector information and communication company which should ensure the effectiveness of this process needs reflection and study. Objectively understanding the broad discussion of the approaches and principles upon which the future general plan of de-occupation of the eastern lands of our country (primarily, their legislative substantiation) will be based, we note a priori that the media plan of information and communication for de-occupation measures will also require a continuous improvement and correction. Nevertheless, the rapid striving of public opinion to the quick start of de-occupation process forces us now to begin the preparatory steps towards developing an information strategy for the future communication company in the East of the country. In order to choose the most effective mechanisms to provide the recommended Plan of measures for the de-occupation of part of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts by the information services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, it seems, first of all, we should to determine the structure, subordination, functional duties and rights (areas of activity and influence), as well the minimum material and technical and logistical support of these units. As the international and domestic peacekeeping experience of involving information services of law enforcement agencies in the settlement of military conflicts proves, Joint information and communication centers are the most effective structures that can professionally carry out information and communication strategy of de-occupation processes, which include representatives of the communications services of all law enforcement agencies subordinated to the Ministry. In our view, the Joint information and communication centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine during the de-occupation process have to combine two main functions of the press service and the public relations unit, that is, functions of the press center and the traditional PR service of the authority. It is logical that to perform the tasks the Joint information and communication center of the MIA will require proper material and logistical support.
