The Formation of Police Law in the System of Special Administrative Law of Ukraine

The article deals with the investigation of the formation of police law in the legal system of Ukraine and its meaningful content. The separation of police law is considered controversial in Ukrainian science, so its research also requires analysis of the relationship with related parts of the legal array, in particular, general administrative law, administrative tort law, administrative procedure and more. The material of the article is represented by highlighting issues that need to be addressed during the formation of special administrative law in Ukraine in general and the problems of the formation of police law in particular. The study also outlines the already developed positions and scholarly prerequisites for the formation of a sub-branch of police law. Nevertheless, there is no generally accepted understanding of what is police activity in the Ukrainian doctrine, which relations should be attributed to police-law ones, which authorities are referred to the police. The article attempts to answer these questions, and also a particular structure of police law as a sub-branch of modern administrative law of Ukraine is proposed. Specifically, it is a set of norms that define and regulate the formation of authorities that ensure public safety, law and order; tasks and powers of police authorities; grounds and procedure for application of police measures, procedures; rights and responsibilities of citizens in the field of police activities.
