Abstract: The relevance of the topic under consideration is due to several factors, including the process of democratization in the Russian Federation, the expansion of international cooperation in various fields, and the holding of sporting events at various levels. All this makes changes to the work of internal affairs bodies, including ensuring public order during mass events. The goals and objectives of this scientific article include the study of the main directions of police activity, the identification of tasks and means of ensuring public order and security during sporting events, as well as consideration of the organization of public order protection during mass sporting events. It is known that the main areas of police work include protecting individuals, society and the state from crime, crime prevention, searching for persons, ensuring law and order and road safety, as well as forensic work. The actions of the police to prevent and suppress crimes and administrative offenses are clearly manifested in ensuring public safety and maintaining public order at various public events, including sports. Effective organization of safety and security is an important condition for the successful implementation of events, and this area occupies one of the leading places in the work of law enforcement agencies. The experience of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation confirms their active role in the preparation and conduct of various events, including elections, festivals, Olympiads and other events, where they ensure the safety of both foreign citizens and Russians. Mass events are social phenomena that create specific conditions for ensuring public order and security in the territory where they are held. They usually take place in a limited area and gather a large number of people — participants, spectators, organizers and decision-makers, which creates a special environment conducive to the emergence of certain events.
