Abstract
Guaranteeing human rights and freedoms, ensuring national security and law and order, and combating crime are a priority for every European state governed by the rule of law. In this regard, an important role is assigned to law enforcement agencies, which are authorised to restrict the rights and freedoms of persons committing offences on the grounds and in accordance with the procedure provided for by national legislation. One of the stages of law enforcement reform in Ukraine was the creation of the National Police in 2015, which replaced the Soviet punitive police. The police are empowered to apply police measures, the list of which is enshrined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police". This article provides a list of police measures, highlights the purpose and procedure for their application in accordance with the law. The problematic aspects of the practical application of certain police measures are highlighted and the ways to eliminate the existing legislative gaps in terms of the possible procedure for the application of police measures are proposed.
