ПРИНЦИПИ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ПОЛІЦІЇ: СУТНІСТЬ ТА ОСОБЛИВОСТІ

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of the principles of the police of Ukraine. The principles of police activity defined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" are considered and analyzed, namely: the rule of law, respect for human rights and freedoms, legality, political neutrality, interaction with the population on the basis of partnership, continuity. It is noted that since Ukraine has announced a course for integration into the European Community and approximation of the Ukrainian legal system to European and world standards, the introduction of Ukrainian legislation and principles that have existed for some time in international law is one of the important steps towards this goal. It is proved that the definition of principles at the level of law indicates that they must be harmonized with existing social values, and the conceptual basis of the modern police paradigm should be the unconditional recognition of the primacy of human and civil rights and freedoms in public relations. on the basis of partnership should be considered as the main: first, to restore public respect for the police, secondly, the level of interaction affects the effectiveness of police functions, and thirdly, the level of trust can be concluded on the effectiveness of policing in general. The development and consolidation of ethical principles is important, which is justified by the peculiarities of policing. It is proposed to supplement the system of principles of police activity with the principles of tolerance and inadmissibility of discrimination. The police must respect and protect human rights and freedoms regardless of race, language, skin color, gender, age and other beliefs and characteristics. In order to improve the activities of the police, amendments to the list of principles defined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" are proposed.
