This article addresses the problem of overcoming the discrepancy between abstract strategic goal-setting and their implementation in public safety legislation, which is due to the lack of legislative recognition of the category of "public interest" as a connecting link. The subject of this study is the social relations that develop during the translation of strategic goals into industry-specific regulations. The goal of the study is to develop a scientific concept of such a translation mechanism and a theoretical justification for the category of "public interest." The study proposes a unique definition of the category of "public interest in public safety," identifies "breakpoints" in the current mechanism for translating strategic guidelines into legislative norms, and develops a model for their harmonization. The need for the adoption of a new strategic document and a basic federal law to unify the conceptual framework and procedures for protecting public interests is substantiated.
