ON THE ISSUE OF DISCIPLINARY AND CIVIL LIABILITY OF POLICE OFFICERS

Abstract

The article noted that discipline, decency, responsibility, and integrity of
police officers acquire special significance and a fundamentally new meaning in
conditions of martial law. The current features of disciplinary responsibility of
police officers are identified. It is emphasized that the leading task of disciplinary
responsibility of police officers is not to maintain current requirements and
institutional rules, but to ensure the development of high professional and
personal qualities of a police officer. Attention is drawn to the fact that the
upbringing of a high level of discipline, including through the application of
disciplinary sanctions, must begin at the stage of training a future police officer. It
is argued that the essence of civil liability of police officers is connected with the
ability of the state to politically and legally bear civil liability for arbitrary and
illegal restrictions by representatives of law enforcement agencies on human
rights and freedoms.
