Introduction. Modern challenges associated with the increasing complexity of both interstate relations and the operational and service activities of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation, growing public expectations of police work, and the need to strengthen public trust in law enforcement agencies, are leading to a rapid increase in the demands placed on the personal and professional qualities of police officers. Contradiction. The key factor in the success of a law enforcement officer is not only the volume of professional knowledge and service-combat skills, but also the formed professional position, which acts as an integrative quality of the professional personality of the employee. In this regard, the purpose of the study was to conduct a long-term review of a number of tasks to ensure the development and testing of social design technology as an effective means of forming the professional position of cadets of departmental educational organizations. The research materials and methods used in the pedagogical experiment conducted among cadets included a diagnostic toolkit, including a questionnaire, observation, expert assessments, and rank correlation. The conclusion is that the social design technology presented in the study has been tested in the departmental educational process, demonstrating its effectiveness in shaping the structural components of cadets' professional positions.
