In the article, the problem of the right protection of personal data in the activities of the National Police was examined. The development of legal legislation in the field of personal data protection in the activities of the National Police at this stage requires the provision of fundamental human rights and freedoms regarding the processing of personal data for the implementation of effective domestic and foreign human rights policies. The present time remains a topical issue with regard to the protection of personal data, especially in the activities of the National Police. The ongoing reform of the National Police system now, more than ever, focuses on the population and the media, in particular video recording on the scene and the dissemination of information collected by police officers. During the time of studying and collecting information on the person at the scene, police officers record on videos containing personal data, depicting individuals. Analyzing the aforementioned there are a number of shortcomings and imperfections in the current legislation in the sphere of personal data, namely the significant uncertainty of administrative and legal mechanisms for the provision of personal data about a person, the dynamic changes in the structure of the mechanism of protection of personal data, tasks and functions of the components of the state management information security system, which has determined the objective need to systematize the state mechanisms for ensuring the protection of personal data. Consequently, openness and transparency in the activities of the National Police is one of the main priorities of Ukraine's European integration aspirations. To ensure the constitutional rights of human beings, society and the state is possible only through the use of certain state mechanisms for the protection of personal data. This mechanism provides information protection and develops a complex of administrative-legal and technical-technological protection in the activities of state bodies of Ukraine. The most important task is the intention to build a people-centered, open to all and aimed at the development of an information society.
