Training of police officers in integrated use of combat techniques

The purpose of this study was to study the training process for police officers as part of the initial training of professionally-applied physical training in the focus of the application of combat fighting techniques. The main task of professionally-applied physical training is to form the motor skills of the police officers in the effective and legitimate use of physical force, including fighting techniques of fighting in order to successfully carry out the detention of the offender. The solution to this problem lies in the plane of optimization of means and methods of physical training of police officers based on the integrated application of techniques. Research objectives: an attempt was made to analyze the development by police officers of a combination of combat fighting techniques during the training process as an essential component of the entire training system of combat fighting techniques for successfully solving service and combat missions. The complex application of combat fighting techniques has been substantiated, consisting in the implementation of technical actions that are equipped in such a way that they can consistently carry out motor actions in a wide variety of combinations. Conclusions: in the practical activities of police officers, the integrated use of combat fighting techniques is considered effective, which takes into account the factors of the motor action performed, including the pressure of the opponent, his weight, the speed of his movement, the implementation of the lever action on the opponent, the force overcoming the resistance provided by the opponent, fettering the opponent’s movements, distracting his attention and the sudden conduct of attacking actions. At the same time, it should be remembered that the integrated use of combat fighting techniques is based on the effective and legitimate use of physical force.
