e) stipulates that the evaluation rating of police officers and the recommendations of the electronic evaluation system must be considered when approving managerial and staffing decisions at the National Police, including with respect to awarding additional kinds of monthly allowances, bonuses (5 percent).

Normative legal acts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs needed for the implementation of the law indicated in subclause 1 of clause 2.1.6.3 have taken effect, stipulating that:

b) evaluation against the criteria of integrity (using the reasonable doubt approach), professional, functional, and managerial (for managers) competencies of police officers shall be carried out as part of each evaluation method, and the criterion of a police officer’s job performance shall be evaluated using computer analysis of statistical data on each police officer (4 percent);
c) during the interview (for managers), every committee member shall give a score for each criterion against which a police officer is evaluated (4 percent);
d) each evaluation committee shall have at least 25 percent of its seats filled by representatives of the public, while the other members shall be appointed from among police officers selected randomly by the electronic evaluation system among police officers with the highest rating based on the outcome of previous evaluations (5 percent);
e) based on the outcome of the evaluation, each police officer shall be assigned an evaluation rating in the electronic evaluation system, which consists of: the overall score reflecting the degree to which the police officer fits the position held; the overall potential of the police officer’s professional development (4 percent);
f) the evaluation rating of police officers is assigned in points using a unified software algorithm and exclusively by the electronic evaluation system based on the input of scores received by the police officer for each criterion after testing, evaluation using the “360 degrees method”, the interview (for managers only), as well as job performance data (4 percent);
g) in calculating the rating, the unit weight of scores received by the police officer for each of the evaluation criteria is the same; consolidated and depersonalized rating data shall be published on the official website of the National Police (4 percent);
h) based on the data gathered, the electronic evaluation system will general recommendations for each police officer regarding a specific training program to be completed at educational institutions that train police officers or at the unit where the police officer is working (4 percent).

An analytical report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been published on the findings of the study focused on the prospects of improvement of the staffing policy and changes in the conditions of remuneration of police officers with a view to enhancing the competitive ability of police service in the labor market, including proposals regarding the sources of funding to cover additional expenses for remuneration of police officers.
