Abstract: The professional training of employees of security and convoy police units related to the lawful use of firearms should be practice-oriented. The developed standards with weapons, special shooting exercises, as well as simulated situations of operational and service activities, in fire training classes, should take into account the specifics and conditions of service activities of employees of this category.
The problem of the study arises from the contradictions between the insufficient regulatory and legal provision of fire training of employees of security and convoy police units and, in this regard, the need to develop pedagogical technologies for practice-oriented training of employees of security and convoy police units to the lawful use of weapons. In this scientific work, the author presents the results of a retrospective analysis of regulatory legal documents regulating the organization of fire training in the internal affairs bodies, namely, Shooting courses and Fire training Manuals from 1992 to the present. In solving the research tasks, the following methods were used – general scientific methods: description, comparison, generalization, classification. Empirical data were systematized on the basis of mathematical statistics methods and presented using a graphical data analysis method. The scientific novelty of the study lies in determining the practice-oriented conditions of shooting exercises that contribute to improving the fire readiness of employees of security and convoy police units.
The main results of the study are:
- determination of criteria (physical conditions) for the orientation of exercises of shooting courses and fire training Manuals for the practice of using weapons by employees of security and convoy police units;
- study of technical actions with weapons that ensure the necessary level of preparedness of employees of security and convoy police units for the lawful use of weapons.
One of the key conclusions reached by the author is that when developing regulatory legal documents related to the organization of fire training in the Department of Internal Affairs, the practice of using firearms by employees of security and convoy police units, as well as the specifics and conditions of official and professional activity, was not sufficiently taken into account.

Abstract: When developing standards and special shooting exercises for employees of security and convoy police units, it is necessary to take into account the modern practice of using firearms, the specifics and conditions of service by employees of this category. The conditions and circumstances of the use of firearms by police officers are described in detail in the materials of official inspections. Due to the fact that these materials relate to information of limited distribution, it is not possible to analyze them. To determine the probable conditions for the use of firearms by employees of security and convoy police units, we used general scientific research methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction. Empirical methods: pedagogical forecasting (questionnaires); mathematical statistics (mathematical and statistical data processing). The problem of the study is determined by the contradiction between the need to study modern conditions for the use of firearms by employees of security and convoy police units to develop practice-oriented standards and special shooting exercises, and the lack of publicly available necessary information about the practice of using firearms by employees of this category. Object of research: professional activity of employees of security and convoy police units related to the use of firearms. Subject of the study: conditions for the use of firearms by employees of security and convoy units of the police. The results of this study will allow us to determine the characteristic technical and technical-tactical actions with firearms necessary for the development of practice-oriented standards and special shooting exercises for employees of security and convoy police units.

Abstract: The topicality of the research is determined by the high-quality training of internal affairs officers of Russia, and by the necessity to study and design the corresponding pedagogical conditions including arms drill by simulating service situations at firearms training lessons. 
The research problem consists in the fact that the directions of improvement of organization and the methods of internal affairs officers training should be developed on the basis of the data about the practice of use of firearms by police officers, as well as about the conditions and circumstances of their use. 
The analysis of open source information shows that there’s a lack of research of this type over the last years. The required information is classified. Besides, the information about the use of firearms by internal affairs officers, which is accumulated by higher-level authorities and organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, often is not sustainable enough to be used in a comprehensive research. 
The research goal is to use the results of the analysis of physical conditions of the use of firearms for the consideration of the possibility of studying and designing the corresponding pedagogical conditions including arms drill, by simulating service situations at firearms training lessons. 
The author uses mostly empirical methods, such as questioning, description, comparison, measurement, and analysis of practice of employees of temporary holding facilities and guarding units of the police service.
The author studies the results of the analysis of possible conditions of using firearms by employees of temporary holding facilities and guarding units of the police service, based on which it is suggested to create a set of professional and service situations for simulation during professional training.
 

Abstract: The activities of employees of internal affairs bodies associated with the performance of official duties in extreme conditions dangerous to life and health, leads to the emergence of negative emotional states. Such conditions have an impact on the entire physiological system of the body. This often leads to affective or aggressive-chaotic actions, or to the refusal to perform those actions that, if necessary, will allow you to successfully complete the official task. This often leads to injuries and deaths of law enforcement officers.
Problem statement: the study of the functioning of the body systems of employees of the internal affairs bodies, their behavior in situations of risk to life and health shows that employees often have poor self-regulation techniques to overcome negative conditions and are not able to quickly bring their body to a normal functional state. The purpose of the study: to establish the relationship between hemodynamic and respiratory indicators of trainees of vocational training in a fire training class.Research methods: the authors have applied both theoretical research methods (analysis, comparison, generalization, systematization). Empirical data were systematized on the basis of mathematical statistics methods and presented using the graphical method. Results and key conclusions: based on the developed private methodology of functional diagnostics, the indicators of hemodynamics and external respiration of employees of internal affairs bodies during fire training classes were studied. In addition, the results of the study can be used when conducting fire training classes for the development and implementation of individually differentiated technologies for self-regulation of employees during professional training.

Abstract: The article considers the main pedagogical techniques helping to keep the attention and interest of internal affairs officers at theoretical lectures during the period of professional training in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The author studies the peculiarities of the structure of a theoretical lecture on firearms training based on the proposed pedagogical techniques. The article focuses on the main reasons of internal affairs officers’ performance decrease during theoretical lectures on firearms training and the ways to improve it using motivating and other factors. The author uses the theoretical methods of cognition (analysis, analogy, the system approach, etc.) and develops the main pedagogical techniques aimed at keeping the attention and improving the performance of students during lectures. The author formulates the following conclusions: 


It is possible to get positive and productive results at theoretical lectures on firearms training if they are structured and have a strong methodological basis


Due to particular psychological peculiarities and some physiological reasons, during long-lasting learning activity, attention and concentration of internal affairs officers at theoretical lectures on firearms training can be decreased. Therefore, the author suggests using some pedagogical techniques which help to keep attention during all the lessons.


To show the particular examples of integration of these techniques with theoretical lectures on firearms training, the author considers educational issues in their connection with the life experience involving the use of firearms by officers during their service. Besides, the author shows how to develop the interest of students via strong motivation. 

Abstract: The authors describe the examples of possible offences of the law by temporary detention facilities officers, security and convoy officers, and other internal affairs officers responsible for criminal suspects convoying. Such offences are often connected with the disregard of rules of official duty performance or with the improper execution of duties, which leads to the occurrence of emergency situations, such as: an assault on a police officer by an individual or a group of individuals; hostage taking; escape or self-maiming attempts. Based on personal experience and judicial practice materials and regulating documents analysis, the authors consider the key measures aimed at the reduction of the emergency situations rate in the work of temporary detention facilities and security and convoy units. The professional activity of temporary detention facilities officers, as well as security and convoy officers, involves everyday contacts with  suspects, persons accused of crimes, and persons sentenced to imprisonment. Officers convoy them to courts, medical facilities, etc. Such duties become routine for experienced officers, which can lead to the loss of vigilance and cautiousness in the work with criminal suspects. On the other hand, inexperienced officers, not knowing the peculiarities of their service, can also commit dereliction of duty, or worse - neglect of their official duties. Therefore, the issues of control and preventive measures taken by senior officers aimed at avoiding offences of the law by their subordinates, become particularly significant. 

Abstract: The author considers the possibility to train law enforcement officers with physiological peculiarities to shoot the Makarov pistol. The author defines the main functional systems of law enforcement officers and studies the main anatomical and physiological peciliatities impacting the accuracy of shooting. The author uses theoretical research methods (analysis, analogy, the system approach, etc.) and develops practical recommendations for using individual corrections to firing techniques of officers with physiological peculiarities. The observance of these recommendations by firearms trainers will help improve technical skills of shooting and shooting accuracy of officers with physiological peculiarities. The author arrives at the following conclusions:


When teaching officers with physiological peculiarities how to shoot the Makarov pistol, trainers should rely upon not only their knowledge and firearms skills, but also be competent in some sciences, such as anatomy and physiology. Extended knowledge of anatomy will promote faster achievement of the main goal: the improvement of technical skills of students and shooting accuracy.


The author defines the main systems activated before and in the process of an aimed shot: the supporting-motor system, the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the visual system, and the sensorimotor system. These systems are interrelated and can impact the effectiveness of shooting. 


Based on the considered functional systems of law enforcement officers, activated in the process of shooting training, and the anatomical and physiological peculiarities of these systems, the author considers the possibility of training officers using individual corrections in shooting technique.
