Self-Protection and Fighting Techniques in the Activities of Departmentof Internal Affairs Employees

The purpose of this study is to study the significance of self-defense and fighting techniques used by law enforcement officers to detain resisting offenders, as well as to fight when attacked by antisocial elements. Self-defense training is the study of the techniques of various martial arts and martial arts to protect one's life and health from encroachment by other people. The use of self-defense techniques is allowed only in extreme cases to protect against an attacking person, the purpose of which can be either mutilation or deprivation of life, or an attack in order to seize a weapon. Self-defense is not aimed at inflicting grievous bodily harm or depriving the attacker of his life, it is aimed at rebuffing him and depriving him of the desire to continue to act aggressively against the offender. Self-defense techniques are studied during training in educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and are improved throughout the service during professional-applied physical training and independently. Fighting techniques have certain differences from self-defense techniques. The first and most important difference is that they are not used to protect against the attacker, but to stop the aggression of the offender. Fighting techniques include various grips, throws, techniques aimed at strangulation, painful techniques. All these techniques are used to immobilize the offender, detain him and escort him to the nearest police station. Most often, employees of the internal affairs bodies use methods of detention and escort, protection from attacks by an armed and unarmed offender, disarmament. At the same time, not every offender expresses a willingness to obey the lawful demands of an employee of the internal affairs bodies, and can resist and fight back, and here the employee must use the entire arsenal of techniques available to him to detain and escort the criminal to the police department.
