The relevance of the article is that in the conditions of constant changes and development of legislation the issue of analysis of new legislation on the conceptual apparatus, features and characteristics of new state institutions, civil service in general and service in the national police in particular is quite relevant. The purpose of the article is to establish the peculiarities of the interpretation of the concept of civil service and service in the police, as well as to present the features of such service. The study analyzes the scientific achievements, which includes the definition of the concepts, features and content of civil service and police service. There is an interpretation of the concept of «service» in the scientific literature and encyclopedic or dictionary publications, it is argued that due to the diversity of the interpretation in the literature there are many examples of interpretation of this definition. The opinions of M. Bilynska, O. Yevmeshkina, I. Surai on the definition of the term «service» and its inherent features are noted, the position on these issues is also highlighted by M. Tsurkan. The article analyzes the concepts of «civil service», proposed by V. Malinovsky, N. Sidorenko, A. Britko, Y. Bytyak, S. Dubenko, Y. Obolensky, M. Inshin, T. Pakhomova, V. Averyanov, L. Stelmashchuk. The erroneous identification of the civil service with the public service is pointed out, as there are so-called political positions that do not belong to the civil service, but are an element of the public service. Emphasis is placed on the features of the civil service (activities to perform the tasks and functions of the state; activities are professional, public, politically neutral and carried out at the expense of the state budget). It is emphasized that the concept of «civil service» is also interpreted in a narrow and broad sense. The study reveals whether police service belongs to the general system of civil service, as well as signs of service in law enforcement (a specific type of human activity, which is implemented in the interests of society; the state determines the boundaries, forms and methods of this activity such a service is a professional activity, etc.). These are laws that define the definition of civil service and police service («On Civil Service» and «On the National Police»).
