Annotation. The current conditions of law enforcement agencies in Ukraine are extremely complex, which requires increased efficiency in this area. The purpose of this article was to highlight the main directions of modernization of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine. This study was carried out within the limits of the set goal using the following methods: information-analytical method, system approach method, anamnestic method, descriptive statistics method, descriptive analysis method, forecasting method. The specificity of law enforcement agencies' activities in modern conditions is determined by: the introduction of martial law and a change in the qualitative and quantitative composition of crime; globalization and European integration processes and universalization; digitization of law enforcement activities; establishing international cooperation in the fight against crime and ensuring national security. Proposals for improving law enforcement activities should be combined into one document, such as the Program for the Modernization of Law Enforcement Agencies of Ukraine, which will include the following areas: law enforcement agency activities under martial law; provision of socially oriented law enforcement activities; democratization and depoliticization of the law enforcement sphere; improvement of the legal framework of law enforcement activities based on international standards and foreign experience; ensuring the appropriate educational and qualification level of law enforcement officers; implementation of digital technologies and information systems; cooperation with governmental and non-governmental organizations and the public; international cooperation.
