FEATURES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE COERCION IN THE ACTIVITIES OF THE NATIONAL POLICE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article examines administrative coercion in the activities of the National Police of Ukraine. It is determined that administrative coercion is an important component of the activities of the National Police of Ukraine, aimed at maintaining public safety, law and order and ensuring the implementation of the legitimate requirements of the state. It is proved that its use should be carried out exclusively within the framework of current legislation in compliance with the principles of proportionality, necessity and legality. The study found that administrative coercion performs not only a punitive, but also a preventive and protective function. Its effectiveness largely depends on the professional training of police officers, the clarity of the regulatory framework and proper control over the observance of human rights. At the same time, the current legislation requires improvement in aspects of clear regulation of the grounds, limits and procedure for the application of administrative coercion. It is also necessary to strengthen the mechanisms of public and judicial control over its implemen- tation. This will contribute to increasing citizens’ trust in law enforcement agencies and ensuring a balance between public interests and the rights of each person.
