Law enforcement functions or tasks mostly depend on the participation of one or another body in the protection (maintenance) of law and order. Law and order is an objective need for the development of the state and society. Its provision must take place within the limits of legality. Maintain law and order by daily compliance, implementation, use and application of legal norms by participants in legal relations. The authorized body’s participation in such relations imposes special responsibility on it. For a law enforcement agency, law and order in itself constitutes a higher level of necessity. Law enforcement actions and legal relations are closely related. They form a coherent law enforcement activity that is public, social and multifaceted. Each of the law enforcement agencies, within the limits of the powers granted to him, bears full responsibility for his own contribution to the assessment of his activities, in particular through the prism of daily contacts with citizens, helping them to ensure their constitutional rights through the fulfillment of constitutional duties. The place and role of notary public bodies in the system of law enforcement agencies and their implementation of law enforcement activities is the subject of research in the specified article and further scientific discussion.
