This scientific article analyzes the regulatory framework for the use of special means by the police in Ukraine during the termination of group violations of public security and order, as well as during mass riots in the city. The types of special means that police officers are authorized to use to carry out their official duties, in particular, during the cessation of group violations of public security and order, as well as during mass riots in the city, have been identified and analyzed. Attention is focused on such special means as: rubber and plastic batons; electroshock devices of contact and contact-remote action; means of limiting mobility; means equipped with lacrimal and irritating substances; means of forced stopping of transport; devices, grenades and ammunition of light and sound action; means equipped with safe smoke-generating drugs; water cannons, armored vehicles and other special vehicles, since the use of these special means most often occurs in the suppression of group violations of public security and order by units of the National Police of Ukraine during mass riots, precisely in the city. A list of special means has been determined and substantiated, the use of which is the most appropriate and effective in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation, upon termination of group violations of public security and order by units of the National Police of Ukraine during mass riots, taking into account the conditions of a certain city. It is concluded that during the cessation of group violations of public security and order, as well as during mass riots in the city, the methods of persuasion, prevention and prevention, as well as methods of coercion in the field of ensuring public safety and order, should not be opposed to each other, but should be complementary.

The scientific article is devoted to the formation of a system of normative legal acts that make up the normative and legal support of public administration in the activity of the court staff. Today there are many different regulations, which are constantly amended and supplemented, which necessitates systematic work in terms of their harmonization and alignment. The constant development of legislation in the system of public administration of the court staff in Ukraine is so dynamic that it requires urgent systematization. Therefore, the systematized and clearly formed legislation is a guarantee of efficiency, effectiveness and appropriateness of public administration of the court staff. It is established that the basis for the functioning of the system of public administration of the court staff is the Constitution of Ukraine, as well as laws and regulations. It is determined that the entire regulatory framework, which governs the system of public administration of the court staff is divided into two groups: 1) the rules of international law; 2) norms of national legislation. Considering the system of normative legal acts in the researched sphere, it is noted that ensuring the work of the court staff is carried out with the help of certain normative rules, which, in turn, regulate the administrative organization of the court staff. The complex analysis of normative-legal acts, which are reflected in laws and by-laws, determines the place of public administration in the court staff. It is proved that this system-forming chain of normative-legal acts, acts of departmental character and local action, creates levers of influence on the organization of work of the court staff. It should be noted that the analysis of regulations in the field of public administration of the court staff shows the lack of systematization of the legal framework, namely the dispersion of rules on various pieces of legislation, which greatly complicates the process of proper implementation of public administration.

The research addresses the community policing developed at the Brisa do Lago Police Base, located in the city of Arapiraca - Alagoas. Assuming that public safety is a responsibility of all (State and society), Community Policing emerges as a philosophy in which the population and the police work together to identify and seek solutions to solve community problems, with essentially preventive actions. The main objective of the study was to describe how community policing was developed by the Brisa do Lago Police Station in the period from 2012 to 2016. For this purpose, case study was adopted as a method and data was collected using an instrument for a field research which included the visits to the 3rd Military Police Battalion, to the Arapiraca City Hall and to the Brisa do Lago Set, as well as interviews with residents, police officers and community leaders who interacted directly and indirectly at the Base. As the results it was evidenced that the low effective to cover the entire area of the city of Arapiraca was determinant for the closure of the Base, as also the high turnover of police officers and the non-compliance with the guidelines established by the community policing model. Regarding community policing, it was possible to observe that its philosophy was not effectively implemented in that community, being essential a preparation of all the agents involved in this process.

Based on the analysis of the peculiarities of the official activity of the employees of the National Police of Ukraine, it has been established that the performance of official tasks mostly takes place in extreme conditions and involves the application of police measures by law enforcement officers. This causes significant physical and psychological stress and impairs the physical health of employees. It is stated that the official activity of employees of most units of the National Police of Ukraine is determined by irregular working hours, daily shifts, frequent services for the protection of public safety and order. This leads to constant overload and, over time, to chronic fatigue. It is established that the specifics of physical activity during the performance of official duties by police officers are determined by the police department and due to the functional responsibilities of employees. The reasons that determine the physical activity of police officers have been identified: the performance of official duties related to the protection of public safety and order, service in daily uniforms; physical training in the system of police training, participation in competitions in professional and applied and other sports. There are objective and subjective indicators used to determine the amount of physical activity of police officers. Subjective are: the feeling of difficulty in performing the work, the inability to continue its implementation in the prescribed amount and pace, fatigue, and so on. It is stated that objective indicators play a key role in assessing the level of physical activity. Among them there are external and internal. External indicators include indicators that are evaluated by its external parameters: speed, pace, number of repetitions, load, and so on. To the internal - indicators of biochemical, physiological, psychological changes in the body due to specific loads. Prospects for further research are to examine the effect of stress on police memory and attention during service.

This article shows a novel geo-visualization method of dynamic spatiotemporal data that allows mobility and concentration of criminal activity to be study. The method was developed using, only and significantly, real data of Santiago de Cali (Colombia), collected by the Colombian National Police (PONAL). This method constitutes a tool that allows criminal influx to be analyzed by concentration, zone, time slot and date. In addition to the field experience of police commanders, it allows patterns of criminal activity to be detected, thereby enabling a better distribution and management of police resources allocated to crime deterrence, prevention and control. Additionally, it may be applied to the concepts of safe city and smart city of the PONAL within the architecture of Command and Control System (C2S) of Command and Control Centers for Public Safety. Furthermore, it contributes to a better situational awareness and improves the future projection, agility, efficiency and decision-making processes of police officers, which are all essential for fulfillment of police missions against crime. Finally, this was developed using an open source software, it can be adapted to any other city, be used with real-time data and be implemented, if necessary, with the geographic software of any other C2S.

The article deals with the current legal framework for the activities of the police commissions in Ukraine. These bodies, established under the 2015 Law of Ukraine “On National Police”, are tasked primarily with ensuring transparent staffing of the police by conducting competitive selection of the candidates for the positions in the police. They include representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, National Police as well as representatives of the civil society, appointed on the by the oblast councils on the local and by the Verkhovna Rada Human Rights Ombudsperson on the countrywide level. However, in the study, a number of problems of the existing regulations have been identified. The first group concerns the way the commissions are established, namely, there is no single approach to the establishment of the commissions of the interregional territorial police forces (such as the Patrol Police). While some of these forces have only one police commission, functioning in Kyiv, the others (including the Patrol Police) have separate police commissions for every oblast. While the latter provides better representation of the local interests, legal status of such commissions requires clarification. Additionally, it was proposed, that establishment of the police commissions on the level below the oblasts seems to be appropriate in order to better represent interests of the communities. The second problem stems from the fact that the contests involving police commissions are obligatory only for the first assignment in the police, while further career decisions are at the respective police director’s discretion. There are no criteria that make appointment through the procedures of the police commissions obligatory for any position in the police, which significantly lowers their relevance for the further career development of the police officers. Therefore, it was proposed to establish a list of the positions, for which the contest would be mandatory. Finally, the article deals with the issue of the policing priorities. While they are mentioned in the Law of Ukraine “On National Police”, the powers of the police commissions to issue them are not sufficiently regulated. It was suggested, therefore, to establish a mechanism, under which the police commissions would draft policing priorities and the respective local councils would adopt them.

The scientific article is focused on the legal regulation of administrative supervision of the National Police of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to define the concept and features of police administrative supervision and develop propositions for amending the existing legislation regulating law enforcement activity. The relevance of the chosen topic is the fact that police officers’ powers to monitor the rule of law in the fields of economy and public administration can directly affect the rights and freedoms of individuals and the legitimate interests of legal entities. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the doctrinal definition of the concept of police administrative supervision and its features and the development of propositions for amending the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police". The publications of scholars who studied the problems of police administrative supervision in various sectors of the economy and public administration were studied. The norms of legislative acts that establish the supervisory powers of the police are analyzed. It is concluded that police administrative supervision is systematic monitoring of the compliance with Ukrainian legislation in the fields of economy, public administration, public life, and the application of coercive measures to offenders to stop the offense and bring them to justice. Features of police administrative supervision, such as regularity, legality, formality, publicity, have been identified. Police administrative supervision is protective. Its purpose is to stop and prevent violations of Ukrainian law. Administrative supervision over the compliance with the law is carried out in the areas of public order and public safety, public administration, business, drug trafficking, firearms and ammunition, road safety, and other sectors of the economy and public administration. It is offered to make appropriate amendments to the Art. 2 of the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police". The results of the study can be used in lawmaking, law enforcement practice, and the educational process.
