Where and How TCC Notification Squads Can Now Detain Military Draft Violators.

Administrative Detention for Violating Military Registration

According to Novyny.live: Ukraine's Territorial Centers for Recruitment and Social Support (TCC) have granted their notification teams the authority to carry out administrative detention of individuals who violate military registration rules. However, it is important to note that these squads are not permitted to detain people inside their homes. This means any such detention can only occur in public spaces, and the process remains administrative in nature—not criminal.

Wartime Powers of the TCC

Under martial law, TCCs are responsible for overseeing general mobilization. To fulfill these duties, their staff have received additional powers, including the ability to issue summonses in public locations. Special TCC notification groups, which include police officers, were established specifically to detain those who fail to comply with military registration requirements.

A key point is that only police officers may carry out administrative detentions. As Yuriy Ayvazyan stated,

“they are not authorized to detain conscripts.”

The work of TCC notification squads aims to enforce military registration, but protecting citizens' rights and freedoms remains a top priority. Detentions for military registration violations are conducted in line with administrative law, with oversight provided by the National Police of Ukraine.

These legislative changes reflect the Ukrainian government's efforts to tighten control over military registration during wartime. By establishing clear boundaries for administrative detentions, the authorities seek to prevent abuses while safeguarding civil liberties. At the same time, the increased activity of territorial recruitment centers highlights the urgent need to boost the country's mobilization readiness amid an ongoing threat.
