The process and results of joint activities and their effectiveness, the attitude of members of this team to results of their own activities as part of the group, satisfaction with this activity, interpersonal relationships and communication significantly depend on the characteristics and state of a socio-psychological climate in the team. The socio-psychological climate plays an essential role in the formation and development of organizational culture, ensuring the service and social efficiency of a production organization. Scientists’ interest in this issue is mainly determined by increasing demands on a person in joint work, complication of business and interpersonal relations in a group, and constant growth of personal claims of team members. It seems natural that there is a resurgent interest of researchers and practitioners in studying the socio-psychological climate in service teams of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation and its management. Methods: the study covered 98 respondents – employees of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kemerovo Oblast, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Altai Krai, and the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Novosibirsk Oblast. The express methodology developed by A.Yu. Shalyto in collaboration with O.S. Mikhalyuk and the expert evaluation methodology of the management activity of the head of the internal affairs body are used. Results: the authors assess a socio-psychological climate in service teams of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kemerovo Oblast, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Altai Krai, and the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Novosibirsk Oblast, the nature of interpersonal relations in terms of 3 components of this interaction: emotional, cognitive and behavioral. In addition, with the help of expert assessment methods, the severity of professional qualities of the head of the internal affairs body at the regional level is established. Conclusion: the interrelation between interpersonal relations in the team, a certain set of professional and personal qualities of the head and their influence on the socio-psychological climate in the service staff of the internal affairs body at the regional level is identified.
