Normative and legal provision of interaction of the patrol police with other subjects of crime prevention

Abstract

The article examines the regulatory and legal support of the interaction of the patrol police with other subjects of crime prevention. It was noted that one of the entities that actively conduct preventive work is the patrol police units of the National Police of Ukraine. At the same time, the effectiveness of such work in many cases depends on interaction with other bodies of public administration and the public. This brings to the fore the issue of proper regulatory and legal consolidation of the interaction of the patrol police with other subjects of crime prevention.It was emphasized that regulatory and legal support for the interaction of the patrol police with other subjects of crime prevention plays an important role in the activities of this unit of the National Police, in particular, during the implementation of the «Community Policing» concept. It consists of three groups of norms. The first group should include norms that aim to consolidate and regulate the preventive work of the patrol police, the second group of norms defines the general principles and mechanisms of interaction of the patrol police during the performance of the entire set of police tasks, and the third group includes norms that directly regulate the interaction of the patrol police with other subjects of crime prevention.
 Not only the last group of norms, but also others exert a regulatory influence on the creation of conditions for the interaction of the patrol police as a subject of crime prevention. After all, the use of norms regulating the general principles and mechanisms of preventive activities, as well as the interaction of the patrol police with other public authorities and the public, is necessary during the organization and implementation of agreed measures in the field of crime prevention.
