The author examines the prospects of creating military police in Ukraine. The differentiation of the functions of the military police from the law enforcement functions of other formations and the military law enforcement service has been conducted. The draft law on the establishment of the military police is analyzed. The author examines regulatory legal acts and provides proposals for amending them in the context of the creation of the military police. It is emphasized that the military police should become a powerful formation for combating crime in the security and defence sector, as well as for preventing disciplinary and administrative offences committed by military personnel.
The international experience of military police activities has been presented. It is noted that the activities of the military police must comply with NATO standards.
It is determined that the most appropriate way is to create military police within the structure of a military formation with law enforcement functions – the National Guard of Ukraine – in order to comply with the principle of independence and impartiality, as well as taking into account the experience of NATO member states.
