The purpose of writing this scientific article is to determine the features of mentoring in the National Police of Ukraine on the basis of distinguishing this concept from related concepts. In order to achieve this goal, the author defines a range of concepts related to mentoring in the National Police, which will analyze in the work: training, coaching, consulting, mentoring, supervision. The paper emphasizes the need to adapt mentoring in the National Police of Ukraine to the modern realities of Ukrainian society and to modernize it to European standards. An example of an attempt to implement this thesis is the introduction of the institute of mentors in the patrol police of Ukraine in 2019. Mentoring in the patrol police is the first step towards overcoming urgent problems with the young potential of the police. In the future, it is proposed to determine the legal basis for the implementation of this and similar institutions in the police. According to the author, the method of supervision can be introduced into the internal activities of the National Police of Ukraine after careful preparation and definition of the main methodological goals, objectives and methods of application. However, the institution of supervision is not identical to mentoring, as it has a number of differences: their subjects and objects, as well as the relationship between them. Emphasis is placed on the mandatory use of training in the process of professional training of police officers: initial training; training in higher educational institutions with specific learning conditions; postgraduate education; job training. But the key difference between training and mentoring is the acquisition of knowledge in artificially created conditions or in real life situations during the performance of police duties. The author considers coaching a necessary element for mentoring in the National Police of Ukraine. The mentor should not indicate the algorithm of actions for the police officer, not solve work tasks by his own example, but give the police officer the opportunity to make decisions independently, perform actions under the strict supervision of the mentor with prior and subsequent analysis of the work situation. The paper focuses on the inappropriateness of the use of consulting in the activities of the National Police of Ukraine, as the police officer has no opportunity not to follow the recommendations, instructions, orders, etc.

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the protection of the honor and dignity of the National Police of Ukraine. The notion of honor and dignity of a police officer is considered and analyzed. The author revealed the meaning of the terms «dignity» and «honor» and provided a definition of honor and dignity of police officers within the independence of these terms and pointed out the main difference between these concepts. The article identifies the current state of national and international legislation on the protection of honor and dignity. The main characteristics and indicators of professional honor and decent behavior of a police officer are given. It is noted that the real protection of the honor and dignity of police officers in practice is virtually ignored and, according to current statistics, offenses against the honor and dignity of police officers are indicators of latent crime. The experience of European countries, namely Poland and France on the mechanism of protection of personal safety and security of police officers is considered. The main provisions of the draft Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine to protect the honor and dignity of employees of the National Police of Ukraine, members of public formations for the protection of public order and the state border and servicemen» № 5050. It has been found that the honor of the police officer is a directly external assessment of the police officer from the society or the relevant social group, which characterizes the moral appearance of the entire personnel of the bodies and units of the National Police of Ukraine. The dignity of the police officer is the internal self-esteem of police officers as a moral personality that is significant for the environment, for society, and determining the significance of the police as a professional based on its achievements, self-esteem. The protection of the honor and dignity of the police as a citizen of Ukraine is carried out on general grounds and does not guarantee a certain level of protection during the execution of police officers.

The article deals with the definition of a female police officer position in Ukrainian society. The position of women who serve in the bodies of the national police of Ukraine and the observance of female police officers’ rights have been investigated. It was clarified that equality is the foundation of a democratic society that strives for social justice and respect human rights. But, unfortunately, for some reasons, women are discriminated almost in all spheres of life. It was noted that our state, being at the stage of formation of a gender society and law in general, has the goal of the European choice, and many steps have already been done for achieving this goal. Ukraine has pledged to fulfill general international duties to ensure gender equality. Having chosen the European vector of development, our state has ratified a number of international documents, one of which was the order of the cabinet of ministers of Ukraine «on the approval of the national plan for the implementation of un security council resolution no. 1325 Women, Peace, Security for the period up to 2020». Аn resolution 1325 is dedicated to those states where armed conflicts take place, therefore this document is relevant for Ukraine. Thus, gender equality is one of the conditions for ensuring social development. For example, the United Nations provides gender-sensitive policing throughout the United Nations police work as an urgent need to address the differentiated security needs of women, men, girls and boys. A positive moment, testifying to the improvement in the field of gender equality, is the constant increase in the number of women in the ranks of the national police of Ukraine. We consider that this fact improves the image and the attitude of citizens towards the police, because women are more trusted than men in some issues. We state that achieving gender equality ensures preventing violence, protecting the rights of all people and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to public life. All mentioned above aspects are impossible without women. Therefore, in the future we plan to study this issue in more detail.

. From the standpoint of a system approach to the methodology of the research of legal phenomena, the theoretical foundations of the formation of highly qualified leading staff of the National Police are considered. The successful formation of a highly qualified police staff reserve requires the introduction of staff planning in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and the National Police. The purposes of staff planning are determined: formation of police staff taking into account the current and future needs for personnel, the level of professional training of police officers, effective use of the potential of the available staff. The formation of a highly qualified leading staff of the National Police should be carried out based on the creation of a staff reserve. Staff reserve is a group of middle-ranking police officers in territorial bodies, institutions and organizations of the National Police. The group is formed in accordance with the established procedure based on individual selection and objective comprehensive assessment. Police officers who have passed the certification procedure, according to their personal and professional qualities, level of education are able to replace higher positions in the National Police of Ukraine. In order to increase the motivation of police officers to perform their duties (as one of the elements of career growth) successfully and conscientiously, it is advisable to introduce the indicator “rating of official and personal competence of a police officer”. The rating of official and personal competence is an indicator expressed in the quantitative calculation of mastering a set of competencies necessary for the implementation of daily practical activities and further career growth of a police officer. The rating includes professional motivation; general training and professional skills; the level of physiological readiness of the organism associated with the possibility of using physical force, special means and firearms in the performance of official tasks; level of psychological stability.

The Future

As a result of the rapid development of intercultural communication and global transformations taking place in the world in the 90s of the XX century, it became necessary to create a new personality with a new set of qualities and competencies that are urgently needed for the rational functioning in a multicultural world. For the successful performance of professional duties is not enough to be a specialist who knows job, today. Modern Ukrainian society needs educated professionals who can think critically and make decisions independently in a situation that requires a choice, that is, to be dynamic, mobile, creative. That is, the main feature of professional activity is its development, which requires constant updating and improvement of skills. Each specialist should acquire new knowledge and improve their skills, and, consequently, improve their professional qualities. According to research, professionals who are not engaged in improving professional competence, there comes a time in life when they have internal dissatisfaction with their activities and they need to improve professional skills, or even change their professional orientation. Given the large variety of information technologies at all educational levels, it is not difficult to improve your professional level, and mobile learning is a way to solve a number of educational problems today. In this regard, the relevance of communicative education of future police officers is increasing. After all, the need to train a competent police officer capable of effective professional activity in a multi-ethnic environment is a priority in the training of future police officers in the parameters of European standards. The socio-cultural aspect in the professional training of future police officers is not only the formation of communicative competence, but also the space of interpersonal relations, in which a holistic culture of the individual is formed. The article presents an analysis of the diagnostic results of the formation of communicative competence of the future police officer. The results demonstrate the levels of formation of communicative competence of future police officers in cognitive, emotional and behavioural components.

The results of the empirical research of aggressive behavior of the officers of the National Police have been presented. The objective of the research was to substantiate the psychological training as a method of psychological diagnosis of behavioral aggressiveness of police officers.In total, empirical studies covered 138 police officers aged 24-35 from different regions of Ukraine, where there were 57 women and 81 men who passed advanced training courses at Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs.To determine the testometric aggressiveness of the subjects, the authors have used two standardized questionnaires for the diagnosis of aggressiveness (P. Kovalov - Ye. Ilina and L. Pocheubut) and the projective method “Test of a hand” by E. Wagner. The authors have distinguished the indicators of testometric aggression of the officers of the National Police of different gender; have conducted their comparative analysis. It has been found out that police officers in general are characterized by a low level of personal and behavioral aggression. It has been found out that male police officers have a significantly higher level of physical aggression than females. Women, in turn, are more vulnerable to manifestations of verbal aggression than men. Analysis of the projective methodology for the diagnosis of aggression confirms the results of the questionnaires about the general low level of aggressiveness of police officers. It has been determined that police officers, regardless of gender, have intrinsic insensitivity to the influence of society, low sensitivity to the opinion of others, the reluctance to build symmetrical relations, which in the end points to an aggressive orientation within interpersonal interaction.The standardization of psychological training exercise “Chair” has been carried out in accordance with the scales reflecting strategies of denial, replacement, assistance seeking, aggression, regression and cooperation. The authors have carried out the assessment of the expressiveness of behavior according to the mentioned strategies at three levels: low, medium and high. It has been clarified that the use of aggressive and regressive behavior strategies and assistance seeking are the most typical for police officers.Comparison of the indicators of testometric and behavioral aggressiveness of the officers of the National Police has been conducted. It has been found out that none of the testometric indicators of aggression of police officers increases linearly in the case of comparison between the groups selected by the level of behavioral aggression. It points to the fact that the real behavioral aggressiveness is a polyderterministic, multifactorial phenomenon. The authors have determined two indicators of testometric aggressiveness of police officers, which differ in polar according to behavioral aggressiveness of groups – they are verbal and substantive aggression. Thus, these types of aggression serve as empirically verified testometric indicators of behavioral aggressiveness and can be used for its evaluation in the process of professional and psychological selection of candidates for service in police and in the psychological support of police officers.On the basis of the conducted research, the authors have concluded about the fundamental possibility of using psychological training as a mean of psychological diagnosis of aggressive behavior of police officers.

The article deals with defining directions for improving the training of specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police. Every year, more demanding demands are placed on law enforcement activities of state bodies, in particular the National Police, which in turn requires an increase in the amount of knowledge required by police officers. Increasing the intellectual level of criminals, using offenders more sophisticated methods and means of committing offenses, careful training, masking criminal acts require adequate response of law enforcement agencies, which in turn requires appropriate training of Interior Ministry employees. An analysis of the publications which initiated the solution of this problem showed that today there is a lack of thorough research on the directions of improving the training of specialists for the bodies of pre-trial investigation of the National Police, which determines the relevance of the investigated problems. At present, within the structure of higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the specialization of training police officers is focused only on the process of training police officers of criminal police (Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs - financial and economic security; Odessa State University of Internal Affairs - units of counteraction etc.). In turn, the process of training specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies does not have such an extensive system of training areas. As a result of the conducted research, it is concluded that there is an urgent need to improve the training of specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police. The main directions for improving the training of specialists for the pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police should be: 1) increasing the requirements for the quality of legal education and professional training of future employees of investigative units; 2) introduction of training of experts for pre-trial investigation bodies according to the profiles assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine; 3) introduction of an effective model of conducting binary classes with the involvement of experienced staff of pre-trial investigation bodies in the process of training specialists for such bodies.
