The relevance of the article is that the creation of the National Police of Ukraine has become a radically new stage in reforming the law enforcement sector of our state. This central executive body was called not only to ensure the protection and observance of human and civil rights and freedoms, but also to increase the general level of public confidence in the state in general and its law enforcement sector in particular. At the same time, in carrying out their activities, the police implement a number of measures, among which a special place belongs to administrative coercion. The latter, in turn, emphasize the legal relationship between the state and the law enforcement system. Therefore, establishing the place, role and importance of the National Police in the system of law enforcement agencies of the state is of great importance for their proper functioning and efficiency. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists and the norms of current legislation, identifies the types of measures implemented by the National Police of Ukraine. The content of some measures is revealed. It is stated that in the system of measures implemented by the National Police, one of the key places is given to administrative coercion. The author's definition of the concept of administrative and coercive measures implemented by the National Police of Ukraine is proposed. It is determined that administrative-coercive police measures occupy the main place in the administrative activity of the police, as they provide, in particular: unimpeded preventive measures to prevent offenses; protection of human rights, freedoms and interests, citizens and public order and public safety; cessation of committed offenses; gathering evidence; identification and detention of the offender; bringing perpetrators to justice; restoration of justice in society, etc. Therefore, the more effective the measures of administrative coercion that can be used by the National Police of Ukraine, the better the fight against crime and the more effective the process of crime prevention.
