Abstract. The current paper has substantiated the necessity to adopt a federal law “On Public Security in the Russian Federation”. There has been shown that the current legal regulation is fragmentary in nature, the valid period of the 2013 Concept of Public Security in the Russian Federation has effectively expired, and there is no foundational legislative act in this sphere. There have been analyzed the views of scholars regarding the necessity of enacting this law, as well as the main issues of academic debate concerning its conceptual and categorical framework and the form of its legislative embodiment. There has been proposed an original concept of a federal law, including legalization of robust concepts of public security; a framework law with the elements of direct applicability; a coordination mechanism based on the Security Council of the Russian Federation; the integration of non-state actors into public security enforcement; measures to counter digital challenges and threats; and regional dimension and structure of law. There have been made the conclusions regarding the necessity to develop and subsequently adopt this legislative act.

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; concept of a federal law; conceptual and categorical framework; framework law; digital challenges and threats to public security.
