LEVELS AND LIMITS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN INTERNAL SECURITY UNITS OF THE NATIONAL POLICE WITH OTHER ENTITIES FOR ENSURING DISCIPLINE AND LEGALITY

Abstract

The scientific work proves that the “boundaries of interaction” of the
internal security units of the National Police of Ukraine with other subjects of
ensuring discipline and legality are primarily characterized by the scope of
competence of the Department of Internal Security of the National Police of
Ukraine and the limits of the powers of the subjects of joint activity. That is, unlike
the “level” of interaction, which determines the place in the hierarchy of those subjects between which mutual relations are established, the concept of
“boundary” meaningfully complements the explanation of the boundaries of such
joint activity. The scientific work substantiates the following approaches: first, for
a full-fledged administrative and legal assessment of the features of the
interaction of the internal security units of the National Police of Ukraine with
other subjects of ensuring discipline and legality, it is advisable to expand the
scope of study of the specified issue and include in its study the “levels” and
“boundaries” of the specified interaction; secondly, the basis of the interaction of
the Internal Security Department of the National Police of Ukraine with other
entities is based on the tasks, functions and competencies of the Department of
Internal Security of the National Police of Ukraine. However, the delineation of the
“levels” and “boundaries” of the joint activities of the Internal Security
Department of the National Police of Ukraine with other entities is also
determined by the norms of national legislation that regulate the activities of the
National Police of Ukraine as a whole. Thus, the issue of regulation actually
concerns a complex system of legal norms enshrined in administrative and legal
acts of varying degrees of legal force, where the “levels” and “boundaries” of the
interaction of the internal security units of the National Police of Ukraine are not
directly identified.
It is emphasized that the main fact is that both approaches to the
organization of work in the law enforcement agencies themselves (i.e. those used
in intra-agency interaction) and the organization of inter-agency joint activities
are subject to review, and therefore, the “levels” and “boundaries” of interaction
are being specified and detailed.
