Abstract

In the article, on the basis of analysis of norms of the current legislation of Ukraine and scientific views of scientists, ways of improving administrative procedures and organizational principles of professional training of police officers in Ukraine are worked out.

It is emphasized that the problem of improving vocational training has long ago become a strategic benchmark for the development of the state’s labor sector at the national level as a whole and in the field of police in particular. This is clearly demonstrated by the legislative provisions of different legal acts, each of which outlines specific aspects of the development of administrative procedures and organizational principles of police training in Ukraine.

It is emphasized that, first of all, the improvement of the professional training of police officers in Ukraine should be due to the improvement of the legal framework. It is necessary to create a single legal act that would, firstly, consolidate the notion of vocational training, secondly, define its levels and types, and the mechanism of their implementation, thirdly, clearly establish the subjects of vocational training and their competence. This act should be an amendment to the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police” and replace a large number of by-laws existing today.

It is substantiated that the professional training of police officers in the future should be “diminished”, since the existence of four of its varieties does not correspond to current international trends, and has no expected effect. It is most appropriate to take foreign experience as the basis in this perspective. According to him, vocational training should be cyclical, step-by-step, that is, the police officer should receive initial professional training in obtaining the basic directions of fulfillment of the duties assigned to him and, as he passes the service, improve his qualification and educational level through special courses, training and training in institutions of higher education for the purpose of obtaining relevant educational degrees.
