The article raises the question of the relevance of applying a competence-based approach to understanding the image of modern civil staff performing their professional activities in higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The authors emphasize the expediency of studying such a less-studied topic, since the current situation on the world political stage requires rethinking the image of a teacher and their qualitative characteristics, especially if they work in military or police educational institutions. The authors note that the creation of a specialist’s competencies profile, which involves not only hard skills and soft skills, but also actual external and internal settings (vision of the state; mission and philosophy of the educational organization itself) makes it possible to switch from an abstract, sketched image of a teacher to a justified, concrete model of their qualities. On the basis of theoretical and empirical methods of collecting information, the authors developed a list of competencies of a civil teacher in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (on the example of an employee of foreign languages at the St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia). They worked out in details the ranked behavioral indicators for the highlighted competencies and formed a model (profile) of competencies. The area between the permissible minimum and maximum levels of competences formation was obtained with the method of expert assessments based on data analysis. This zone marked on a petal diagram contributes to awareness of the required teacher’s level of development of different knowledge, skills and abilities. In the conclusion the authors emphasize that the competence profile gives an opportunity to both the organization itself to find “its” employee, and the teacher themselves, through self-reflection, to adjust their professional activity and build their future in the workplace.
