Prokofiev M. Administrative and Legal Regulation of the Civil Service in the Law Enforcement.

The dissertation summarizes the theoretical generalization and a new solution of the scientific problem of administrative and legal regulation of civil service in law enforcement, which formed the basis for the development of appropriate conceptual and methodological foundations aimed at solving current scientific and applied problems in administrative law and those that can be used to form a system implementation legislative support for the modernization of the civil service law enforcement agencies. As a result of the dissertation, the state of administrative and legal regulation of the civil service in the law enforcement sphere in the conditions of adaptation of national legislation to the requirements of the European Union is revealed. It is determined that the modern model of the civil service in the law enforcement sphere should be based on the advanced achievements of social philosophy, in which the professional activity of civil servants in the law enforcement sphere is represented as a type of professional activity, focused on the provision of socially significant services in the field of comprehensive public interest. The main directions of building a civil service model are to solve the problems of improving the efficiency of public administration in the law enforcement sphere by enhancing decentralization, simplifying procedures and structures, giving giving more independence to management staff in decision making. The need to expand the subject of administrative law by supplementing the provisions on tasks, functions, duties of representatives of state bodies is substantiated. The distribution of state principles is carried out in law enforcement into three groups. The first group should include system-wide principles that underpin the constitutional and legal foundations of the civil service system in the field of law enforcement as an integral institution of public administration. The second group consists of the principles that determine the patterns, used in the process of formation and development of civil service legal relations, reflect the specialty of professional activities of the state law enforcement officers. The third group includes principles that characterize the internal organizational activities of law enforcement agencies.
