The article analyzes the historiography of the development of deontological knowledge and examines the main scientific works of the English philosopher and jurist Jeremiah Bentham, which are devoted to the problems of deontology. The main basic criteria set by a scientist for the professional component through the prism of moral requirements and various types of culture are considered, and attention is drawn in particular to the deontological foundations in law enforcement activities. We are talking about the need for law enforcement officers to realize the importance of their social mission as Guardians of law and freedom, who are obliged to risk their own lives in countering crime and offenses, and prevent violations of the rights and freedoms of citizens in their professional activities. This requirement of the deontological foundations of law enforcement has both a legal and moral dimension. Exploring and revealing the content of deontological foundations, attention is focused on the two main social regulators of social relations as morality and law. It is also noted that Ukraine, along with other European countries in its arsenal in the regulation of social relations has common values (meaning democratic, legal values), such as good (according to Je. Bentham), which is equated to natural and legal values. Therefore, in their professional activities and the regulation of public relations (especially conflicts), first of all, law enforcement agencies must adhere to such a specified value as good. The main theory of Je. Bentham – utilitarianism is also mentioned. The main idea of which is what needs to be done for the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people. And therefore, to denote the utilitarian system of ethics Je. Bentham introduces such a new concept as "deontology" – the doctrine of the right, proper (not only in life but also in professional activities).

In modern Russia, the problem of countering socially dangerous manifestations acts as a national project that proclaims the right of citizens to safe living conditions. Much attention is paid to the ability of law enforcement officers to resist criminal expansion legally, to be able to protect themselves and others by means of legal use of force against persons who commit socially dangerous encroachments. Guided by the concept of deviance, the authors made an attempt to analyze the problem of lawful behavior by law enforcement officers, primarily police officers. The researchers came to a reasonable conclusion about the need to adjust the current state of affairs. The legislation and the practice of its application cannot satisfy the interests of representatives of law enforcement agencies engaged in official activities for the protection of public order and ensuring of public safety. Imperfect legislation is the main reason of deviant behavior of police officers who are in permanent stress situations. Their abundance also provokes deviant behavior of police officers, which sometimes manifests itself in extreme brutality towards lawbreakers. From our point of view, the current norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, primarily the norms of Chapter 8, are not clear enough. Moreover, their legislative wording is far from being perfect and gives the opportunity to shift the blame for causing harm to persons who do it in circumstances that exclude the criminality of the act. The proposed careful adjustment of the norms of criminal legislation will significantly increase the effectiveness of their practical implementation, instill confidence in the consciousness of police officers about the importance and possibility of offensive legitimate steps to influence crime, as well as to increase their legal protection.

It is determined that as the patrimonial object of the crime under the Article 332-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine should be considered homogeneous social relations, covering a certain sphere of the public life that is the border security of Ukraine, violation of which causes socially dangerous harm to the components of this sphere that is defense of the State and its border protection, sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability. The direct object of this crime is the public relations, which provide for the normatively established and regulated procedure for crossing the State Border of Ukraine. It has been established that the procedure for crossing the State Border of Ukraine may manifest itself in several forms: 1) by any means (by foot, by auto transport, by swimming etc.) outside the checkpoints across the State Border of Ukraine; 2) by any means (whether hidden or breaking through, or not) at checkpoints across the State Border of Ukraine without the relevant documents; 3) by any means (whether hidden or breaking through, or not) at checkpoints across the State Border of Ukraine with the documents, containing inaccurate information. Should not be underestimated the blanket nature of the disposition of the mentioned article that requires precise determination of the relevant regulatory acts, determining the list of documents that are necessary for crossing the State Border of Ukraine by a certain category of people, and also confirm the fact of opening a specific checkpoint across the State Border of Ukraine. The disposition of the Article 332-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine defines several groups of subjects, in particular: 1) a person who is prohibited from entering the territory of Ukraine; 2) a representative of a unit of the armed forces or other law enforcement agencies of the State who is an aggressor; 3) a person with the aim to illegally cross the State Border of Ukraine for harming the interests of the State. Moreover, it was established that the aim for “harming the interests of the State” is not necessary for the illegal crossing of the State Border of Ukraine by persons who are prohibited from entering the territory of Ukraine, or by representatives of a unit of the armed forces or other law enforcement agencies of the State who is an aggressor. The criminalization of the illegal crossing of the State Border of Ukraine is an important aspect of creating conditions for the proper protection of the vital interests of an individual, the society and the State from real and potential external and internal threats in the border space of Ukraine.

When qualifying vandalism, law enforcement officers often experience difficulties in distinguishing a criminal act from a minor one, which formally contains signs of a crime, but does not pose a public danger. Due to the evaluation of the signs of both vandalism and the insignificance of the act, there is a high probability of qualification errors in which insignificant acts are recognized as criminal, or on the contrary, the actions of persons who committed vandalism are recognized as unapproachable. To date, there is no single doctrinal opinion defining the criteria of insignificance, a similar situation is observed in judicial and investigative practice. For these reasons, the topic is relevant and requires a comprehensive analysis. The purpose of the study is to consider the points of view of researchers of interest to the science of criminal law and law enforcement officers. The tasks are to establish rules for the qualification of criminal and insignificant vandalism, which contribute to the adoption of the right decision by law enforcement subjects, to make scientifically based proposals for the application of Article 14, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in relation to acts that formally fall under the signs of a crime under Article 214 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. During the research, the following methods are used: dialectical, analysis, synthesis and sociological. As a result of the analysis, the most common mistakes made by the law enforcement officer are identified, the points of view of scientists on the qualification of vandalism are considered. Signs of insignificance were also investigated, taking into account practical and doctrinal positions. As conclusions, the signs of insignificance are proposed, which are subject to establishment by law enforcement agencies, in order to correctly qualify vandal actions.

Materials and methods. Theoretical analysis of scientific and methodical literature, generalization of scientific data of modern approaches to the organization of the process of special physical training of law enforcement officers, pedagogical observations and pedagogical experiment were used. To determine the operational composition of technical and tactical actions used by law enforcement officers in their professional activities and differences in martial arts on various grounds, an analysis of video materials of competitions among law enforcement agencies in hand-to-hand combat from the section "Demonstrations of applied equipment" of hand-to-hand combat in 2019-2020 was used. Results and discussion. The use of hand-to-hand combat - service-applied sport as an element of special physical training of law enforcement officers is substantiated. It is established that the distinguishing feature of hand-to-hand combat as a sport and part of special physical training of law enforcement officers is the presence of directions of work with weapons (stick, knife, pistol, machine gun), counteraction to several attackers and the use of an element of surprise (unexpected attack). The operational composition of the means used by law enforcement officers in their professional activities and athletes in different types of martial arts and the differences between the types of martial arts by different distinctions are determined. Conclusion. Hand-to-hand combat is a unique service-applied sport, which consists of sections "Demonstration of applied equipment" and "Duels". A distinctive feature of hand-to-hand combat as a sport and part of special physical training of law enforcement officers is the presence of areas of work with weapons (stick, knife, pistol, machine gun), resistance to several attackers and the use of an element of surprise (unexpected attack). The content of competitive activity in the section "Demonstration of applied equipment" of hand-to-hand combat fully corresponds to the specifics of solving operational and service tasks without the use and with the use of weapons by law enforcement officers. The operational composition of the means used by law enforcement officers in their professional activities and athletes in various martial arts (hand-to-hand combat, combat sambo, pankration) are identical, which in turn allows in the process of special physical training of law enforcement officers to conduct classes in these martial arts. According to the main features that distinguish different types of martial arts (clothing, allowed and prohibited by law ways to achieve advantage, the position in which to fight, the size and features of the site, the time allotted for technical and tactical actions) hand-to-hand combat is most suitable for special physical training, training of law enforcement officers.
