Abstract. The current paper has presented the study of the objects of public security and entities to ensure it. Due to the analysis, there have been identified specific characteristics of these objects and entities within the sphere under consideration. As a result, there have been concluded that certain objects of public security and the entities responsible for ensuring it are characterized by the fact that they can simultaneously serve as both objects and active agents. There can be different extent of participation by various entities in ensuring public security. The primary goal of ensuring any type or subtype of security is to achieve a state of protection for the fundamental objects—the individual and society. In terms of its objects, public security possesses the most complex structure among the three categories of national security. The system of entities ensuring public security comprises the state, local self-government, and civil society. Civil society institutions and citizens may participate in ensuring public security either with or without a special legal status. The effectiveness of ensuring public security depends, inter alia, on the active participation of civil society institutions and citizens and the extent to which they are supported by state legal guarantees. There is a necessity in an up-to-date strategic planning document and a dedicated law on public security.
The current paper has been prepared as part of the implementation of the state assignment “Comprehensive study of public security issues as a strategic priority of national security of the Russian Federation (FFFZ-2025-0001)”.
Keywords: public security; objects of public security; entities to ensure public security; state functions; civil society.
