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.
