Introduction. The paper, based on the analysis of domestic legislation, characterizes the tasks of the patrol police units in terms of crime prevention. The patrol police is considered one of the main units that performs tasks related to the prevention of criminal and administrative offenses, based on the norms of legislative and bylaw regulations. However, it should be noted that these norms have not yet acquired a systemic nature, with the help of which it would be possible to fully regulate the performance of the tasks of the patrol police in terms of crime prevention. This factor and certain shortcomings of the law enforcement activities of the patrol police actualize the research of such tasks. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the tasks of the patrol police as a subject of crime prevention, to divide them, and to provide proposals for normative legal acts. The results. The importance of the proper performance of tasks by the patrol police regarding the prevention of criminal and administrative offenses necessitates the need for appropriate regulatory and legal support. It is expedient to enshrine at the level of a subordinate regulatory legal act - Regulations on the Department of the Patrol Police the task of crime prevention by supplementing Section II "The main tasks of the Department" paragraph 5 with the following content: "Organization and implementation of preventive and preventive activities aimed at preventing the commission of criminal and administrative offenses, identifying and taking measures to eliminate the causes and conditions that contribute to their commission". Conclusions. The tasks of the patrol police as a subject of preventive activities, taking into account the general tasks of crime prevention, it is advisable to divide them into two groups - the task of identifying and eliminating the causes and conditions of the entire set of offenses (or individual groups) and the task of exerting a preventive influence on a specific person (circles persons) who is inclined to commit a tort or has started to commit it (has committed it).
