Essence and content of the concept of efficiency of operative-official activity of the State border guard service of Ukraine

Abstract

Becoming of Ukraine as the democratic, legal, social state stipulates the necessity of improvement of public policy in the sphere of guard of state border, system of its organs, and also process of public administration in the field of guard of the state border, in fact that effectiveness of law-enforcement activity on a border depends in a great deal on an effective management.
 The article is devoted to research of efficiency of operative-official activity of the State border guard service of Ukraine. The author on the basis of experience of operative-official activity of organs and units of the State border guard service of Ukraine (SBGS), analysis of scientifically-methodical literature and normative-legal base has analysed theoretical approaches of scientists in relation to the concept of efficiency and has distinguished the signs of this concept in the field of guard of the state border of Ukraine, in particular its essence and content.
 To guard the state border effectively – means foremost to provide its inviolability. It is the main thing. From the state point of view it is not indifferently, how many forces and facilities are spent for the decision of this task, at what directions and levels basic efforts are concentrated on, as the nearest plans will be correlated with perspective. That is effective guard of the state border means also some resource criteria, that is characterize execution of the organs of SBGS, detachments of the Marine guard, aviation units of some operative-official tasks.
 Examining general formulations of concept «efficiency», it is possible to set forth three fundamental positions that must be in any determination.
 1. Efficiency foresees the presence of aim and depends on different factors, such as, for example, as content of tasks that are solved by the system, condition of the system, character of environment and others.
 2. Efficiency can change (characterized by dynamic), character of its changes can be measured by a certain number that hesitates from a zero to some maximal value in ideal conditions. Thus this number must absorb for itself very many factors, on which efficiency depends on, - is complication of the system, development of corresponding normative base, level of training of personnel, optimality of control system and other.
 3. Efficiency must adequately represent all results of functioning of objects through such, for example, indexes (in most cases it is talked about the system or set of indexes of efficiency), as probability of some event, average expected value (mathematical value) of some casual size, actual results of the executed activity and so on. It is necessary to notice that today it is not yet worked out by a theory such general index, which would represent all factors the efficiency of which depends on that correctly.
 Thus, in order a determination of efficiency represents all complication and specific of that sphere in full volume, where it is used it must conform some requirements : а) to represent an aim the system functions for the achievement of which; b) to show the concrete conditions of activity of the system; c) to characterize resources at that the aim of functioning of the system is achieved; d) to show a dynamics of changes of factors, that influence on efficiency; e) to give a complex estimation to the results of operative-official activity of SBGS (through the system of corresponding criteria).
 Taking into account the above-mentioned and taking into account specific functions that is executed by SBGS of concept «Efficiency of operative-official activity» it is possible to define as a level of implementation of tasks on the State border guard service, certain correlation of the attained results and used for this purpose forces, facilities, time and other resources.
 Both an analysis of efficiency of the state border protection on results of operative-official activity of organs of SBGS and prognostication of efficiency is not an end in itself. A primary objective during realization of this work is a detection of narrow (problem) points in the state border protection, reserves of increase of efficiency and making of scientifically reasonable strategy and tactics on usage of these reserves in practice.
