TRANSFORMATION OF THE INSTITUTE OF DISCIPLINARY RESPONSIBILITY OF EMPLOYEES OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS BODIES IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITALIZATION Академии правоохранительных органов

The article explores current issues regarding the transformation of the system of disciplinary liability for law enforcement officers in the context of the digitalization of management processes. The subject of the study comprises the legal and organizational relations arising from the registration of misconduct in the virtual environment. The methodological framework includes the formal-legal method, system-structural approach, and legal modeling, while the empirical base is drawn from data analyzed during internal investigations within Police Departments for the 2024-2025 period.

The author substantiates that transitioning to a data-driven governance model requires not only technological updates but also the formation of a new legal framework governing liability for the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of data entry into state information systems. The main scientific result is the development of the concept of “digital disciplinary liability” and the AI-based algorithmic model “Disciplinary ERAP”.

The paper substantiates the need to automate internal investigations through the implementation of standardized digital templates, which will minimize subjectivity and reduce bureaucratic costs. The practical significance of the study lies in the formulated proposals for amending the departmental regulatory acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan that govern internal investigation procedures, and for implementing “digital footprint” mechanisms as an evidentiary base for disciplinary offenses.
