The article considers the reasons, purpose and results of the reform of the National Police. The current state of the legislation thatestablishes the legal status of the National Police is considered, the main advantages and disadvantages that exist at this stage are high lighted,the previous ones are analyzed. The study was based on the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police”, which enshrined the concept of“National Police”, clarified the main tasks of this institution and the structural units operating in its structure. An important part of the reformwas, in accordance with the signed coalition agreement, which ensured the implementation of the provisions on law and order and compliancewith EU requirements. The desire to reform Ukraine’s security and defense sector has been supported by international organizationssuch as the EU, NATO, OSCE, as well as Partner countries: the United States, the Netherlands, Canada and the United Kingdom, which hascertainly had a positive impact on international reform and technology. In addition, we examined the main processes that hinder the developmentof the National Police, namely: low financial security, overwork, lack of career growth, disrespect from citizens, lack of clear regulations,with defined instructions, neglect of managers in the interests of their subordinates. We considered possible ways to overcome suchproblems, in particular: increasing the material security of employees, which will not only encourage them to work in law enforcement agencies,but also reduce the level of corruption within it; revision and change of the internal organization of the work process will help to reducethe overload of police officers, as well as reduce the negative impact on their health; However, the most important task to be addressed inthe short term is to bridge gaps in the legislation to avoid disputes and hamper law enforcement and the real desire to continue reformingthe national police. and change for the better. The study showed that, despite the sharp and positive start of the reform, at the moment it needsto be reformed again. Of course, this has a negative effect on society, as the body called to monitor law and order is in chaos.
