At the Main Command of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a meeting of the Mentorship Council was held within the framework of the “Law and Order” ideology, focusing on the development and improvement of mentorship activities within the law-enforcement forces.

The event was attended by Head of the Main Directorate for Educational and Social-Legal Affairs, Major General Ayan Yeszhanov; Deputy Chairman of the Mentorship Council of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Major General (Ret.) Daulet Salkhanov; and Chairman of the Veterans Council of the National Guard, Major General (Ret.) Kaliakpar Tokushev. In addition, via videoconference, Chairmen of the Veterans Councils of the regional commands and directly subordinate units joined the meeting.

During the session, participants reviewed issues related to ongoing mentorship efforts and the role of the mentorship institute within the system of educational and social-legal work. It was noted that organizing mentorship for young officers is one of the principal forms of educational work within the officer corps. Alongside commanders (chiefs), psychologists, mentors, and veterans of the National Guard of the Republic of Kazakhstan are actively involved in this process.

— The mentorship institute plays a key role in educational work. It is aimed at transferring service experience and providing practical assistance to young officers, shaping the professional qualities necessary for independent service, — Major General (Ret.) Daulet Salkhanov emphasized.

The Mentorship Council of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a collegial body comprising the most experienced officers and veterans. Its primary task is to coordinate and develop mentorship activities within military collectives. Mentors for young officers are typically selected at officers’ meetings from among the most qualified officers and are subsequently appointed by order of the commander of the military unit or the head of the National Guard Academy.

Mentors carry out their duties according to individual plans lasting from six months to one year. During this period, they assist young officers in adapting more quickly to service, mastering the specifics of combat duty and combat training, studying orders and official responsibilities, and becoming accustomed to internal regulations and service time schedules.

In addition, mentors provide psychological support to young officers, helping them cope with service-related workloads and the particular demands of military life during the initial period, while maintaining constant contact with them.

At the conclusion of the meeting, participants emphasized the significant role of mentorship in the professional development of young officers, ensuring the transfer of practical experience and contributing to the strengthening of discipline and responsibility. All of this enhances the effectiveness of service activities and, overall, strengthens the personnel potential of the law-enforcement forces.
