Training of Employees of the Internal Affairs in the Tactical Basis of the Use of Physical Force Based on the Use of a Situational Approach

The purpose of this study is to study the influence of the situational approach on the formation of employees' skills in the use of physical force. Tactical and technical readiness contributes to the competent use of physical force and the implementation of any technique. The performance of service and the performance of professional duty occurs in situations of risk to the life of an employee. Moreover, such situations are formed very unexpectedly and spontaneously. The only thing an employee can rely on is only his own reaction, speed of thinking and physical fitness. It has been established that the potential of situational training contributes to the effective development of the necessary professional skills. This method allows employees to develop analytical skills, evaluate the alternative, choose the best option, draw up a plan according to it and act according to the planned tasks. So, when using it, employees reinforce precisely those qualities that contribute to the successful solution of the tasks of the service. In the classroom, in order to avoid interference in the implementation of a particular technique and to consolidate the effectiveness of training, the qualities being worked out are subjected to careful analysis and discussion. The main focus of training is the plot orientation, when the student acts both as a law enforcement officer and as an adversary. At each subsequent lesson, situations become more complicated with a simultaneous change in their sequence. At the end of each lesson, a portfolio is formed for each employee indicating the mastered and unmetered professional competencies. The result of mastering the situational approach is the ability of an employee to enter the situation in the shortest possible time, analyze it and use its components to successfully solve the combat mission. Also, in the process of training, such personal qualities as courage, determination, initiative and resourcefulness are brought up. Thus, the main aspect of situational training is the formation of employees' skills to quickly adapt to an extreme situation and analytical skills, which together will provide the optimal solution to the problem.
