Administrative and legal support for cooperation between the National Police and military administrations, local authorities, and the State Emergency Service in frontline areas: division of powers, coordination, and accountability of officials

Abstract

The issue of administrative and legal regulation of interaction between the National Police of Ukraine, military administrations, local self-government bodies and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in frontline territories is examined. The specific security environment under martial law forms a new model of public governance in which public order, civil protection and territorial stability must be ensured under conditions of permanent crisis. Special attention is paid to the importance of clear allocation of powers among public authorities, which prevents duplication of functions, managerial conflicts and gaps in responses to threats to public safety.

The coordinating role of military administrations as institutions integrating civilian and security mechanisms of territorial governance is highlighted, as well as the functional interdependence between the police and emergency services in responding to the consequences of hostilities. The role of local self-government bodies as a key social and communication element within the public security system is emphasized. The responsibility of public officials is considered as a legal guarantee of legality and accountability in high-risk environments. Interaction is presented as a complex administrative and legal mechanism aimed at ensuring stability in frontline areas and protecting the rights and safety of the population.
