Using the methodology of the system analysis, the theoretical approaches to the definition of legal regulation of the police activities concerning the promotion of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen in the context of European integration of Ukraine under the conditions of the reform processes in the national law-enforcement system are considered. The influence of the legislation of the European Union and the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights on the state of human rights and freedoms in the police activities are analyzed. The basic principles of the legal regulation of the promotion of rights and freedoms in the police activities of the countries with the federal system (the Federal Republic of Germany) and the unitary system (France) are described. The legal regulation of the German police activities is divided into federal legislation and legislation of subjects of the federation. The German police structure includes federal police and land police. The main body of normative legal acts in the field of regulating the police activities to ensure the rights and freedoms of man and citizen constitute regional acts. In France, despite the existence of various units within the police – the National Police, Municipal Police, and the Gendarmerie, the main legislation on police activities was adopted at the state level, due to the historic approach to the legal regulation of the state mechanism. The development of legal regulation of the police activities concerning the promotion of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen in the countries of the European Union is a logical consequence of competition between the multidirectional interests of the state and civil society, which is expressed in the formation of a complex system. The necessity of implementing the positive experience of the legal regulation of the police activities is substantiated
