Is the National Police of Ukraine European?

Abstract

The fact that the National Police of which is territorially European, does not yet testify to the possibility today to consider the National Police as the Ukrainian in the sense of its internal readiness to conform to the stand-ards of organization and operation of the forces of the Commonwealth. The answer to this problem can be solved by such tasks as searching for the principles of Europeanization of the National Police in the current legislation; perception and display in the media of the fundamentals of the National Police; analysis of the status of self-identification of the National Police as a and supporting and Euro-Atlantic integration as an element of its own Europeanization by Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. According to the results of the study, it is shown that the term European Ukrainian police was used by the leadership of the state and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of as well as the term of Ukraine, solely in order to maintains the image, and was not widely disseminated either in Ukraine or in the world. At the same time, a new law enforcement agency was expected in Ukraine. The main reason for this was the hope of getting high-level officers like in the forces. But the transfer of borrowed positive experience and methods of effective work of the authorities of Europe to Ukraine did not take place and could not have happened due to a number of objective reasons. However, the principles of the and Euro-Atlantic trend regarding the future of the National Police of Ukraine have already been laid down and for that, it's will taken place, we must consider the following basic realities: 1. National cannot be a permanent beneficiary of funds and technologies from the Union – it is necessary to develop internal human, technical and intellectual resources and integrate into the legal circle of the community of countries on the principles of an equal partnership. The stated integration is fully possible only after building a proper economic basis in the state. 2. The Ukrainian will acquire the conditional status of a one only when its corporate mentality and the mentality of the average policeman become European. In other words, the National Police of Ukraine must be not only professionally self-identify as a European, but also be recognized as such. Any artificial imposition of the image of the Police without real changes is not promising.
