Анотація

The aim of the article is a retrospective analysis of the information and legal support of law enforcement bodies. Results. The article is a retrospective analysis of information and legal support of the National Police of Ukraine. It is proven that the development of information support for activities of law enforcement bodies are interrelated with the evolutionary stages of information technology development. Six stages in the development of information support for law enforcement bodies are identified and analysed. The study reveals that: for the first time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs introduced the Instruction on keeping records in internal affairs bodies in 1961, and specifically the formation of the scientific and practical basis for information support of the law enforcement bodies of Ukraine began in the early 1970s; at that time, the Republican Research Information Centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukrainian SSR (now the Department of Information and Analytical Support of the National Police of Ukraine) was launched with its data processing centres in all regional Internal Affairs Directorates that were equipped with Minsk-type computers and later with EU media. It is revealed that the specificity of making information systems at that time was that information was not processed centrally, which had affected and sometimes made it impossible for law enforcement officers to have direct access to a unified database. Conclusions. The police's competence with regard to the information, information and analytical support, making and application of information resources are set out in article 25 of the Law of Ukraine "On National Police." The legal regulations governing activities in this area are analysed. It is theoretically justified that a positive novelty in the legal regulatory mechanism for information support to police activities is the legislative consolidation of the police's information and analytical activities, their powers in this field, the list of databases, as well as liability for misuse of information resources. It is established that the use of information technology in the performance of the National Police, with appropriate legal support, may become one of the main factors in strengthening the rule of law in our country.
