Improvement of the conceptual principles of activity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine as a subject of the formation and development of the internal security environment of the state

Abstract

The publication explores a new method of assessing the security environment based on indicators developed and approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. A SWOT analysis of the current state of the MIA system was conducted, on the basis of which its strengths and weaknesses have been identified, as well as possible external opportunities for development and the threats that accompany them. It has been emphasized that the activity of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the direction of the formation and development of the security environment is limited only to the definition and description of the indicators of this environment. At the same time, it has been concluded that such an assessment should lead to the adoption of appropriate regulatory and organizational measures, which, taking into account the challenges caused by the aggression of the occupying country, should be implemented in all bodies and units of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. It has been noted that in modern conditions it is necessary to pay attention to the strategic directions of the development of the MIA system and the introduction of the best foreign practices of law enforcement into its activities, as well as directions related to military affairs and issues of civil protection of the population. It is also appropriate to work out the issue of defining key criteria and performance indicators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system regarding the formation and development of the internal security environment. On the basis of the conducted scientific analysis of existing security threats, taking into account the latest changes in the current legislation of Ukraine, key directions for improving the conceptual foundations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine as a subject of the formation and development of the internal security environment of the state have been developed.
