The article proposes to consider the issue of accessibility as an integral part of the system of legal mechanism for the implementation of law enforcement activities.

Accessibility of law enforcement assistance (service) is revealed through the following features: it is a priority step towards the realization of the right to protection; ensures the use of the entire law enforcement infrastructure for the approval, protection, restoration of rights and interests, counteraction and cessation of offenses, protection of property, etc.; dissociates itself from access to the profession of a law enforcement officer, as personnel policy is a separate (independent) area of ​​law enforcement management; has many features in common with the availability of judicial protection, while the threshold barrier to the admissibility of claims in access to the latter is much higher compared to appealing to law enforcement agencies; the amount of access to the law enforcement service is its mandatory attribute, which characterizes the availability of such a level of access that will be sufficient and effective to obtain the necessary law enforcement assistance.

In order to prevent systematic violations of accounting and registration discipline as a way to ensure access to law enforcement services, it is necessary to regularly raise regulatory awareness and legal culture of law enforcement officers through trainings, seminars and other training activities.

The reality of law enforcement assistance is one of the most complex from a practical point of view and at the same time effective indicators of accessibility to the state infrastructure of law enforcement functions.

Key words: accessibility, access, law enforcement assistance (service), law enforcement function, law enforcement reform, decentralization of law enforcement infrastructure, accounting and registration discipline.
