Training of Employees of Internal Affairs Bodies to Suppress Encroachments on Their Life and Health by Offenders - Preventive Actions and the Basics of Shock Equipment

The purpose of this study is to study the role and ways of improving preemptive actions in protecting against offender strikes. Exercises have been proposed that have repeatedly proven their effectiveness in the implementation of preemptive actions from strikes, both unarmed and armed with a knife or a heavy object of the offender. The service of police officers takes place in the conditions of increasing requirements for their professional preparedness. At the same time, there are conflict situations that threaten the health and life of an employee, when the offender is actively resisting, sometimes even armed. Therefore, in order to avoid damage to their health and life, employees must master the ability to perform preventive actions when protecting themselves from the blows of the offender. Proactive actions by police officers are used to prevent the aggressive behavior of the offender. Situations necessitating the implementation of proactive actions are usually document checks, body searches, searches of vehicles, etc. In a critical situation, before applying a preventive action, the appropriate action of the employee will be to distract the offender: negotiating, throwing objects, shouting, distracting with a glance, etc. as well as their training on live targets, which can be carried out both in the process of performing one specific technique on a non-resisting assistant, and during a training fight (sparring). It has been established that working in pairs is the most effective and consists in the fact that this process is as close as possible to a real battle. The task of each of the sparring is to use all the allowed and available preemptive actions in his arsenal in order to win, and also to understand how well he owns this or that technique, which of the techniques are better and can be used by him practically when defending from the blows of the offender. The task of the teacher during sparring is to help both fighters and correct their shortcomings with various tips.
