Municipal Police plays a key role in ensuring an adequate level of security environment in European communities. Its main task is interaction with the population, prevention of misdemeanors. Ukraine is also reforming the National Police. The main task of this reform is the creation of similar units in the structure of the National Police of Ukraine. In the future, it is planned that each territorial community of our state will have its own police officer. Two trends prevail in the activities of the municipal police in Austria, England, the Netherlands, France, and Wales. One of these is the extension of Municipal Police powers to those of National Police authorities. The second trend is related to the distancing of such police officers from the population, which negatively affects their interaction with the population. In the context of the activities of police officers of the community of Ukraine, it should be emphasized that they are full-time employees of territorial divisions of the National Police. This gives them a wide range of powers. However, this does not allow them to carry out effective interaction and communication with the residents of territorial communities, because they see them as civil servants who can act from a position of strength. The problem of expanding the powers of munitions police officers is quite complex, and therefore requires further thorough research.
