ON THE ISSUE OF SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT FOR THE ACTIVITIES OF THE NATIONAL POLICE OF UKRAINE UNDER MARTIAL LAW

Abstract

The article argues that in conditions of martial law, when the security and
defense forces of the state are faced with unprecedented challenges, the stability
of national resistance, the effectiveness of the activities of bodies and units during
permanent adaptation to an extremely changeable and unpredictable security environment depend on their scientific support.
It is noted that since ancient times, higher education institutions have
become epicenters of the development of scientific knowledge. Such a role in the
field of law enforcement and the training of highly qualified legal personnel is
played by higher education institutions with specific training conditions that train
police officers. The available human and material and technical potential allows
us to consider such higher education institutions as platforms for constant
interaction between the scientific community and practical units.
Attention is focused on the fact that mastering the methodology of scientific
activity allows future police officers to competently draft any procedural
documents, give a comprehensive written or oral response to lawyers' inquiries,
critically analyze the situation in professional activities, and demonstrate a high
level of communicative competence, which involves establishing interaction with
a wide range of subjects, maintaining constructive cooperation and trusting
relationships with them. The impact of martial law on the scientific activity of
higher education institutions is analyzed, and problems such as colossal
destruction of infrastructure, reduction of state funding for scientific activity, and
personnel problems are outlined, which domestic scientists are working on
solving, in particular in terms of administrative and legal support.
