Coercion as the most frequently used method of managerial influence is considered through the prism of management methods formed from it, such as psychological, social, administrative and economic. The measures used to encourage internal affairs officers are described in the context of mandatory compliance with the requirements of publicity. Findings and Conclusions: selecting the necessary ratio between the methods of persuasion, coercion and encouragement, the most balanced approach is required, since failure to take into account the state of the operational situation and other emerging conditions leads to a pattern and stereo typicality of the IAB head's activities. The method of persuasion is a priority; however, in case of a violation of official discipline by a police officer, it is necessary to take measures of disciplinary coercion or public censure on the part of the staff of an IAB unit. When determining the measure of disciplinary punishment, it is necessary to adhere to the uniform requirements of the principle of fairness - compliance with the committed disciplinary offence and the form of guilt.
