The consideration of the main normative acts regulating and accompanying the process of reforming the units of the National Police as a part of the public administration in Ukraine is offered.It was stated that the current state of the National Police does not fully meet the challenges and realities of today. Police reform should not be a process for the sake of the process, the end result should be systemic change, this requires a clear understanding of the stages of reform, their regulatory support at both strategic and tactical levels and performance based on certain indicators. In the area of regulatory support for police reform, it should be noted a certain inconsistency, ie even in the presence of documents at the strategic level, it is noted that some systemic elements of the reform are not clearly spelled out, which leads to legal confusion and delays. It is believed that systemic changes are required by the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses and a number of bylaws, including: in terms of depoliticization of the National Police and financial issues of its work; creation of a system for assessing the work of the police on the basis of the level of public confidence by conducting an independent opinion poll; overcoming the impunity of law enforcement officers and in order to strengthen their personal responsibility through identification, which will provide additional opportunities for influence and participation of citizens to improve the activities of the police. It was stressed that comprehensive reform of the entire security and defense sector is urgently needed for Ukraine. At the same time, the National Police cannot be reformed as a separate declared project - a model of law and order, as its activities are constant interaction with the executive, the National Guard, the State Emergency Service, the State Migration Service, the Border Service and the Armed Forces. prosecutor's office, courts, etc. All this necessitates a review of the organizational structure and functions of these bodies to achieve balance, coordination and effectiveness of their actions and, as a consequence, to achieve the key goal of reforming the National Police - the trust of citizens.
