MODERN REFORMATION PROBLEMS OF NATIONAL POLICE OF UKRAINE

Journal Title: «Приватне та публічне право» - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue

Abstract

The article deals with current issues of reformation of the National Police of Ukraine. There are general suggestions for their solution. It is noted that the active reform of the internal affairs bodies started today with the adoption in 2014 of the Strategy of the development of the bodies of internal affairs of Ukraine, according to which the so-called demands of the society to the police were defined. Taking into account foreign experience, it was proposed to introduce the following points into the activities of the police in Ukraine: establishing effective public control; introduction of a democratic and effective system of accountability to society; establishment of partnership relations with the population within the framework of the “community policing” model; professionalism of the personnel, reduction of its number, elaboration of professional ethics; diversification of personnel by all groups of the population; provision of constant communication with police units of other states. According to the author, questionable today, in conditions of such a high level of crime, the main need of society is the service orientation of the activities of the National Police. It is emphasized that the Law of Ukraine “On Service Services and Service Centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine”, which was so actively lobbying in the spring-summer of 2015, after several revisions, passed only the first reading, and further movement of this bill was stopped. We believe that this situation is to a certain extent a vivid indication that the “primacy” of the service of the National Police is far from being a priority for today. Although in the future, such an approach is worth talking. It is noted that the public opinion polls in the affairs of the internal affairs bodies should be sufficiently effective. It is indicated that the proposal, which must definitely be accepted, is the fixing of each policeman’s personal responsibility for his actions or inaction, the orders given. For this purpose, every policeman wearing uniform should have a personal badge with a surname or number (a stylus, a badge). According to the author, the depoliticization of the internal affairs bodies remains an important issue for today. At the same time, the process of depoliticization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should minimize political influence on the activities of its personnel, provide a professional approach to the strategic development of law enforcement agencies. In the case of revealing facts or the emergence of a reasoned suspicion regarding the actions of an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the interests of representatives of political forces such an official should be suspended from the performance of duties and becomes the object of internal investigation. It turns out that in order to make really effective changes it is necessary not to carry out codification of normative legal material, but first of all to determine the basic needs of society and the state, which today need a reliable, authoritative and, to a certain extent, strict protection against unlawful encroachments, reduction of crime rates. It is indicated that under such conditions it is not important which act will determine the specifics of the activities of the National Police – in a separate law or code. The main thing is the development of clear, effective mechanisms for the practical enforcement of law and their implementation into the real activities of the National Police of Ukraine.
