LEGAL EDUCATION AS ONE OF THE MAIN ASPECTS OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: The law enforcement system in Ukraine is currently at the stage of reformation. The Ukrainian government has taken significant efforts to achieve first positive results. 7 November 2016 the Law of Ukraine on «The National Police» came into force. In comparison with the previous Law «On Militia» the status of law enforcement officers has been changed. And if previously it was emphasized on the police arming as a public authority, then nowadays the attention is paid to the official function of this body. The author provides a comparative analysis of the laws mentioned above. The negative conclusion such as a lack of new legal regulation of officers’ orientation to legal education is made through the comparison of the notions of a «law enforcement body» and «functional obligations of the law enforcement officers». Thus, it is proposed to prepare ethical codes which might be a kind of work guide. Also it is accented on the insufficiency of the time for the preparation of our police officers. Three of four months is obviously not enough for a full and qualitative preparation. With the reference to the international experience, the author illustrates a high level of attention which is dedicated to the preparation of officers in Germany and the U. S. It is also emphasized on the high cost of the preparation of only one police officer. So, it is suggested that the time and quality of the preparation of a police officer should be raised. The article also proposes to change the legal education in a certain way. And there is a high need in a greater teaching of inter-sectoral law disciplines such as Philosophy of Law which form valuable attitude to law and humane respect to citizens. The author also offers to carry out work with the society for the popularization of the police activity. The main focus should be on the police officers (patrol, district) who most of their time deal with ordinary people. All in all, despite the fact that the great steps were made, the author states on their insufficiency and expresses his hope to further police reformation.
