LEGAL REGULATION OF THE USE OF SIMULATION AND MODELING TECHNOLOGIES IN ENSURING STATE SECURITY BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the legal foundations for the use of simulation and modeling technologies in the activities of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine in the context of ensuring state security. The need for an in-depth study of this issue has intensified against the backdrop of a global administrative and legal reform, which has placed at the forefront the necessity of developing effective mechanisms for the legal regulation of law enforcement activities, particularly through the introduction of modern digital, simulation, and artificial intelligence technologies.

The study provides an extensive theoretical examination of the subject matter and proposes an original conceptual framework for improving the state security system by establishing clear regulatory norms governing the use of modeling, simulation, and artificial intelligence technologies. Special emphasis is placed on identifying systemic shortcomings and gaps in the current national legislation regulating such technologies, as well as on substantiating the need to update legal mechanisms capable of ensuring integrity, ethical conduct, and the prevention and counteraction of money laundering in Ukraine.

The article reveals the specifics of modern simulation-situational techniques in personnel training, optimization of operational and service activities, and support for managerial decision-making. It provides an expanded overview of regulatory acts that directly or indirectly govern the sphere of simulation modeling, identifying issues of fragmentation, ambiguity, and insufficient coherence among legal norms. Considerable attention is devoted to aspects of cybersecurity, personal data protection, prevention of abuse, and the development of ethical standards and procedural safeguards for the use of intelligent technologies in law enforcement activities.

Based on the conducted analysis, the article formulates scientifically grounded recommendations for the further development of legal regulation in the field of simulation-modeling systems and artificial intelligence, as well as defines directions for integrating these technologies into the national security system, taking into account contemporary challenges and future development prospects.

The Concept of Administrative Law Reform of Ukraine substantiates a coherent set of theoretical and practical ideas, conclusions, provisions, and proposals intended to introduce necessary clarifications and amendments—both to doctrinal aspects and to the normative system of Ukrainian administrative law—regarding the legal regulation of the use of simulation and modeling technologies in ensuring state security by law enforcement agencies.
