Limits on the legality of the use of physical force, special means and firearms by police officers

The purpose of this study was to study the problems of the use of violent actions, namely physical force and combat fighting methods, special means and firearms by police officers in the process of serving in relation to antisocial elements. We found that the legal regulation of the use of physical force, special means and firearms by police officers consists in the desire to strengthen the guarantees of the rights and freedoms of citizens and to ensure uniform law enforcement practice. Research objectives: an attempt was made to consider the process of professional and applied training of police officers, during which the skills of using combat fighting techniques, special means and firearms are formed. And the legal regulation of the use of physical force by police officers, including combat methods of combat, special means and firearms - the main elements of professional training, solves the dominant task in this aspect. Conclusions: the competent actions of the employee in the ensuing battle with the offender can lead the conflict away from the critical situation, reduce tension in the current situation and eliminate the need for physical force, special means and firearms. Therefore, when applying physical measures and fighting methods of struggle, the police are obliged to take into account the nature and strength of the resistance, because It is precisely in accordance with the degree of severity of the offense and the resistance exerted by the offender that the police officer applies direct coercion measures, the limits of which are established and fixed at the legislative level, are characterized by established frameworks, the passage of which entails negative legal consequences for law enforcement officers.
