Training of officers of combatant police units in the safe handling of weapons.

This article discusses the system of professional training of officers of combatant police units (on the example of the security and convoy service) for the use of service weapons, training in the competent and safe use of firearms in the course of performing operational and service tasks and performing shooting exercises in typical situations of the use of firearms using special vehicles. Based on the conducted research, the author's team found that the existing training methods do not fully meet the modern requirements of professional training of employees of the security and escort unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Based on this, the authors propose methods that can significantly increase the level of training of this category of employees to perform official tasks with weapons. The research methodology is presented by such empirical methods as analysis of the practice of law enforcement officers, generalization of methodological experience, modeling of educational situations. The conducted research revealed the need to develop a unified approach to the methodology of teaching tactical methods of using firearms in typical situations of operational and service activities. The study was conducted in two directions: - the first direction is related to the study of methods of teaching employees of internal affairs competent and safe (for others, including other employees included in the convoy) the use of firearms during the performance of official tasks; - identification and development of typical situations of the use of firearms employees of the security and escort units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia using special vehicles. Based on the research conducted by the team of authors, it was found that the existing training methods only partially meet the modern requirements of professional training of personnel of the security and escort units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. As a result, a training methodology has been developed that allows to significantly increase the level of training of this category of employees to perform official tasks with firearms.
