Institutional principles of interaction between the National Police of Ukraine and other entities of the security and defence sector of Ukraine

Abstract

The article is devoted to the clarification of the complex of institutional principles of interaction of the National Police of Ukraine with other subjects of the security and defence sector of Ukraine. It is established that the interaction of the National Police and other subjects of the security and defence sector in Ukraine, as in a modern legal and democratic state, aimed at gaining full membership in the European Union, should be based on a complex of relevant institutional principles, which is a special administrative and legal issue that is not given sufficient attention in the scientific literature. It is noted that the interaction of the police and other subjects of the security and defence sector of Ukraine is currently based on a certain number of principles that form a system of fundamental ideas of such interaction, which primarily covers general legal, special and special (institutional) principles of interaction of subjects of activity in the field of ensuring national security and defence. The institutional principles of police interaction with other entities of the security and defence sector constitute an independent group of legal principles that detail general legal and sectoral guidelines in the field of joint security activities and are aimed at streamlining both organisational mechanisms and the content of such interaction. It is noted that the principles that are attributed to institutional fundamental ideas determine the goals and other characteristics of collective actions and decisions, delimit the powers and responsibilities of the participants in the relationship, and establish requirements for planning and organising interaction in general, as well as for procedural forms, methods and tools for implementing security measures in particular. In addition, the criteria for selecting adequate forms and means of administrative and legal response to specific factors, taking into account the assessment of the security situation, follow from these principles. It is substantiated that currently the group of institutional principles of interaction of the National Police with other entities of the security and defence sector of Ukraine primarily includes the principle of objectivity; the principle of systematicity and consistency; the principle of separation of powers of interaction subjects; the principle of planned interaction; the principle of professionalism combined with patriotism; the principle of efficiency of interaction; the principle of optimal interaction; and the principle of assessing corruption risks of interaction.
