Effectiveness of law enforcement in the national security system
The article is devoted to the current problem of the effectiveness of law enforcement in the national security system under martial law and full-scale invasion. The author considers various aspects and activities of executive authorities in ensuring national security, emphasizing the importance of improving the quality and effectiveness of management activities. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the concept of efficiency, its relationship with labor productivity, and its specificity in the context of management activities.
The author emphasizes the need to achieve high efficiency based on a deep understanding of theory and consideration of practical management experience. The American approach to the problem of management efficiency, which is based on the key economic criterion of profit that determines the principles, forms and methods of optimizing capitalist management activities, is considered. At the same time, the conceptual and methodological diversity of existing approaches to the problem of management efficiency is noted.
The article defines the criteria for the effectiveness of law enforcement in the context of national security, in particular, the quality system of management decisions, which includes the level of rationality of the decision made, the effectiveness of managing the process of its implementation, and the quality of feedback on the results of implementation. The stages of improving the quality of management decisions in the field of national security are proposed, which include the introduction of a quality assessment system, consolidation of results in regulations, assessment of changes in decisions by quantitative and qualitative indicators, revision of shortcomings, and implementation of a quality assessment system. Based on the analysis of the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and laws in the field of law enforcement, anti-terrorist activities and national security, ways to improve law enforcement activities in the field of national security are outlined. They include the development of new concepts, doctrines, legal acts, the creation of a modernized base for the application of new approaches, the organization of training resources and means, the localization of crisis situations, the implementation of planned and operational measures, monitoring of influencing factors and coordination of forces and means of ensuring national security. The author introduces the concept of “benchmarking of law enforcement” as a tool for optimizing processes in the field of national security by ensuring regulatory quality. Categorical approaches and the main common features of benchmarking in the activities of the executive authorities of Ukraine to ensure national security are identified, in particular, the identification of successful project implementation, identification of problems and process efficiency, and stimulation of positive experience.
Key words: national security, law enforcement, management efficiency, quality of management decisions, executive authorities, benchmarking of law enforcement, national security system, martial law, optimization of management activities.
