Concept of Social Protection of Law Enforcement Officials
Abstract
The article examines the social protection system for law enforcement officers in Ukraine in the context of contemporary transformations in social policy and the adaptation of national legislation to international standards. The study analyzes the evolution of legal and regulatory guarantees, beginning with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On the National Police,» which formalized the social rights of police officers, and continuing through legislative initiatives of 2024–2025. Particular attention is given to the changes introduced by the Law of Ukraine No. 3621-IX of March 21, 2024, and the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 1553 of December 31, 2024, which significantly modernized the mechanisms for providing social guarantees and benefits. The paper highlights the issue of legal instability in the pension provision system for law enforcement personnel, which has led to a substantial number of legal disputes, as well as trends toward increasing monetary compensation aimed at enhancing the prestige of the service. Specific sections of the article focus on medical and housing support, where the key instrument has been the «eOselya» program, as well as guarantees for the family members of deceased or missing defenders. The study reveals the multi-level system of social payments and benefits, including one-time financial assistance, educational benefits, and access to psychological support. A comparative analysis of legislative declarations and the practical implementation of state guarantees demonstrates a gap between normative initiatives and their financial and organizational support. In conclusion, the author argues that the modern model of social protection for law enforcement officers in Ukraine is characterized by high dynamism and a striving for comprehensiveness, yet remains vulnerable due to excessive fragmentation and frequent legislative changes. This situation generates a current scientific and practical discourse on the need to stabilize social policy, increase its effectiveness, and ensure real access to guaranteed rights
