PROVIDING PERSONAL SAFETY OF A POLICE OFFICER IN THE CONTEXT OF A INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF REGULATORY PROVISIONS
Abstract
Abstract. The relevance of the study of the issue of ensuring the personal safety of a police officer, in the context of violation of regulatory and legal requirements, is due to a significant increase in the number of deaths and injuries of the National Police of Ukraine in the course of performing their police functions. This negative trend outlined above necessitates coverage of the general state of affairs in this area, while at the same time requiring a detailed description of the factors contributing to the emergence of extreme situations. Given the above, the purpose of the article is to study the current gaps, both legislative and executive, which, among other things, facilitate attacks and lead to new cases of deaths and injuries of police officers in today's realities. Achieving this goal involves the use of a set of methods, including Internet heuristics, systematisation, comparison, and the formal logical method. The main results of the study are that the article reveals the root causes of extreme situations involving representatives of the law, which make it impossible to safely perform police functions, especially under the martial law regime. A systematic analysis of situations that resulted in negative consequences for the life and health of police officers, including violations of legal regulations by law enforcement officials, helped to identify the main dangerous factors and conditions that contributed to the inability of officers to safely and effectively counteract aggressive individuals. The article also establishes that the problem of ensuring the personal safety of a police officer is a complex issue with equal responsibility of all legal entities involved in police security. It is established that in the modern scientific discourse this problem is highlighted only from the perspective of imperfections in regulatory and legal provisions and as a result of existing shortcomings of standard training systems for law enforcement officers. It is reasonably proved that a significant part of the responsibility for their own safety while performing police functions is assigned to representatives of the law. The practical significance of the study is that its results can be used by scholars to conduct further research on the outlined topic.
Keywords: personal safety; violations; legislation; attacks on a police officer; injuries and wounds, extreme situations.
