Задание 2. Прочитайте и переведите на русский язык следующий текст:

THE RUSSIAN POLICE

The Police are the central law enforcement body in Russia, operating under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was established in 2011 instead of militia, the former police service.

The main goals of the police are an active fight against crime, and improvement of investigative and preemptive activities. The police are to ensure law and order in public places, the safety of traffic and the protection of property and facilities.

The top priority for the Interior Ministry is the optimization of regional police bodies. Another priority is the building of a new crime prevention system. It should be based on close cooperation with citizens, state authorities and civil society institutions.

The Russian Police operates according to the Law on Police. The new Law defines status, rights, and obligations of police officers, frees police from unusual functions, and affirms partner relations between police and society. The Law on Police outlines the limitations related to police service, and requirements for proper police conduct.

The Law on Police outlines the equipment authorized for police work, including batons, gas means, handcuffs, electric shockers, light stun devices. Police dogs, water cannons and armored vehicles also belong to this group as well.

To increase public control, the Law provides for the regular publication of surveys to monitor public opinion on police activities. In addition, regional councils comprised of representatives of various public organizations are to be created to advise police leaders on the policy of law enforcement bodies.

The new Law arranges a working relationship between police and citizens. It is to enable each police officer to regard himself as a part of the society while performing his duties. The society, in its turn, should have a better understanding of the fact that it has delegated to the police the functions of protecting itself from lawlessness.
