Abstract

The purpose of the research is to provide theoretical generalization and implementation of a complex scientific and applied task on the formation of a concept of the content of the protection of human rights and freedoms as a component of the preventive function of police forces, providing the development of proposals and recommendations aimed at improving legislation and law enforcement practice. The details of police officers' activities aimed at protecting human rights and freedoms were investigated. The methodological basis of the research was the dialectical method of scientific cognition used to visualize the legal, functional, organizational and procedural aspects of the protection of human rights and freedoms in the activities of law enforcement agencies. It is concluded that the effective performance of the task of enforcing human rights and freedoms, at least by the National Police of Ukraine, to some extent depends on the mechanism of adequate legal regulation of these activities by means of consistent laws and other normative legal acts.
