Purpose. To define the concept of corruption, its features, anti-corruption measures used by the National Police of Ukraine; to study foreign experience in preventing corruption in the police; to outline proposals for improving existing legislation. Research methods. The paper is based on general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge. Results. The author has defined the concept of corruption and its features. The ways of preventing corruption in the National Police of Ukraine and the practice of foreign countries in preventing corruption in the police have been analysed. Suggestions have been made to improve ways of preventing corruption in the National Police. Conclusions. The prevention of corruption is an essential component of the internal organizational activities of the National Police of Ukraine, which is aimed at ensuring such principles of the National Police as the rule of law, legality, respect for human rights and freedoms, etc. The National Police carries out a set of measures, which can be divided into institutional-regulatory and organizational, designed to prevent corruption. However, unfortunately, the level of trust in the relevant public body remains low enough. In this context, it is advisable to address foreign experience with further formation of anti-corruption policy in the National Police. At the same time, it is worth emphasizing that foreign experience should be applied given national specifics. For example, it would not be appropriate to introduce the institution of accountability of the police head following the case of the United States, as this may lead to a "vicious circle" in which the head is responsible for a subordinate and therefore is not interested in prosecuting the latter. Thus, the prevention of corruption of officials of the National Police of Ukraine is an important component of not only the anticorruption policy of the National Police but also the anti-corruption policy of the state, which should be supported both by regulatory measures and specific measures to eliminate corruption risks including precautionary measures and liability measures to be applied in case of inefficiency of the former.
