The activities of law enforcement officers are characterized by significant psycho-emotional and physical stress. Therefore, a high level of psychophysiological characteristics is an important component in the structure of preparedness of cadets in higher education institutions with specific training conditions that train police officers. Experts note that the indicators of sensorimotor reactions are one of the most accessible and, at the same time, quite accurate neurophysiological indicators that reflect the dynamics of nervous processes, motor coordination, overall performance and activity of the central nervous system in various fields. Research aimed at the finding of the effective ways to improve them is relevant. We conducted a study of psychophysiological characteristics in 2 groups of cadets during the first academic year. The first group of cadets trained in the course of the discipline "Special Physical Training". The cadets of the second group were engaged in "Special physical training", and also during the academic year trained in sections of game sports (football and volleyball). The results show that the traditional curriculum of the discipline "Special Physical Training" in higher education institutions with specific training conditions that train police officers is not effective enough to improve the performance of sensorimotor reactions of cadets. In the group of cadets, who did not train in sports sections, we did not find a significant improvement of the psychophysiological characteristics. The results indicate the feasibility of using sectional classes of game sports (football, volleyball) as a means of improving the efficiency of the process of training.

The ability to maintain high speed and accuracy of sensorimotor reactions for a long time under the influence of various interfering factors is an important component in the training structure of future law enforcement officers. Improving of the sensorimotor reactions of higher education students in institutions that train police officers takes place in the process of the discipline "Special Physical Training". Methods of general physical training (sports games, competitive methods), as well as, methods of simulating service situations (attempt of the offender to get the weapon, group interaction of police, protection from the threat of weapons, protection from blows with hands and feet) are used to achieve this purpose. We conducted a study of the complex reaction of choice of cadets in the normal conditions and under the influence of interfering factors. The results show that male cadets and some women as a result of two years training significantly improve the resistance of sensorimotor responses to interfering factors (the speed of a complex reaction of choice without interference, with interference, the total number of errors). The results show that the traditional curriculum of the discipline "Special Physical Training" in higher education institutions with specific training conditions, which provide training of police officers, effectively helps to improve the stability of sensorimotor responses of cadets. Improving the efficiency of the training process in the direction of increasing the stability of sensorimotor responses of female cadets requires special attention.

The activities of law enforcement officers are characterized by significant psycho-emotional and physical stress. Therefore, a high level of physical preparedness and psychophysiological characteristics are an important component in the structure of preparedness of cadets in higher education institutions with specific training conditions that train police officers. Research aimed at finding of effective ways of their improvement is relevant. Experts note the importance of studying the impact of different sports on the preparedness of cadets. We conducted a study of the indicators of the preparedness of the cadets who during the year of study were engaged in the program "Special Physical Training" without attending sectional classes. We compared their results with the results of the cadets who trained in the kickboxing section. The results show that the traditional curriculum of the discipline "Special Physical Training" effectively contributes to the improvement of the physical preparedness (endurance, muscle strength). The process of the improving of the psychophysiological characteristics (simple reaction to sound and visual stimuli, choice reaction, reaction to a moving object) in the educational process of "Special Physical Training" needs to be optimized. Sectional martial arts (kickboxing) classes are an effective means of extracurricular activities of the cadets. They help to increase their physical fitness and psychophysiological characteristics.

The article is devoted to the analysis of administrative and legal regulation of practical training of applicants for higher education in higher education institutions with specific training conditions that train police officers. Today, practical training is an integral part of the educational process, which allows to ensure the acquisition of competencies and program learning outcomes provided by educational and professional programs. Based on the analysis of the Regulations on practical training of students and cadets of higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the authors have identified problematic issues of organization and conduct of various types of practical training. It is concluded that the existing mechanism of practical training of this category of persons and its normative expression needs to be improved, as it does not meet the needs of today, contains provisions that contradict other regulations, outdated terminology, does not take into account the organization of the educational process at the present stage of development. departmental education, etc. In addition, the draft Regulation on the practical training of applicants for higher education in higher education institutions with specific training conditions for the training of specialists for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and the National Police of Ukraine is being studied and is currently being discussed. The authors conclude that its provisions are unconditionally progressive, but make specific proposals to improve the proposed organizational and legal framework. In particular, it is proposed to specify the purpose of practical training, the mechanism of its organization for applicants for higher education by correspondence, persons studying under the program “2 years cadet - 1 year student», the order and grounds for involvement in public safety and order, clear determined their status, given the lack of specification of the rights and responsibilities of this category of persons in such activities.

The purpose of the study to summarize the experience of modern methods of organizing physical training of law enforcement officers and criteria for assessing physical fitness for joining the police. Results. The article considers topical issues related to the organization of physical training of cadets of higher education institutions of internal affairs bodies. Relevant areas for improving the process of psychophysical readiness are the use of priority sports, increasing the adaptation of freshmen to specific learning conditions, the use of pedagogical technologies, the introduction of new technologies for assessing the physical fitness of cadets and methods of physical training taking into account climatic and geographical conditions. Having conducted a detailed analysis of the state of organization of physical training of police cadets, the negative dynamics of physical training of cadets was established. In senior courses, the level of physical fitness decreases. The results of the scientific research confirm that the physical fitness of more than 40% of entrants is low, there is no motivation to improve their physical capabilities. Only 19.1% of respondents are satisfied with their physical shape. The experience of law enforcement shows that the underestimation of the importance of psychophysical readiness of personnel leads to injuries and wounds of law enforcement officers during the performance of official duties. The modern tendencies of improvement of physical training of police, and necessary conditions for development of professionally important physical qualities of militiamen are studied. A comparative analysis of Ukrainian and foreign experience of professional selection and evaluation criteria of physical fitness to law enforcement agencies. Conclusions. It was found that the priority issues that need to be addressed are the provision of favorable conditions for adaptation of freshmen to specific learning conditions, revision of criteria for assessing physical fitness, professional selection and the need to develop differentiated programs for psychophysical fitness of cadets.

The aim is to study the level and dynamics of instructor officers’ somatic health during the course of employment at Ukrainian higher education institutions with special training conditions Materials and methods: The study involved male instructor officers of the National Academy of Internal Affairs (Kyiv, Ukraine) of different age groups (n=103), who conduct training sessions with cadets – future police officers. The first age group (up to 25 years of age) comprised 8 instructors, the second one (26-30 years of age) – 11 instructors, the third one (31-35 years of age) – 14 instructors, the fourth one (36-40 years of age) – 16 instructors, the fifth one (41-45 years of age) – 19 instructors, the sixth one(46-50 years of age) – 17 instructors, and the seventh one (over 50 years of age) – 18 instructors. The study was conducted in 2017-2019. The level of instructor officers’ health was examined according to the methodology of G. L. Apanasenko, which provides for the calculation of body mass, vital, strength, and Robinson indices, as well as the duration of recovery of heart rate after standard exercise. The research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature sources, pedagogical testing and observation, methods of mathematical statistics. Results: Insufficient level of health was revealed among instructor officers of all age groups – the level of somatic health of the vast majority of instructional staff (over 75 %) is assessed as “low” and “below average”, more than 95 % of instructors are below the “safe zone” according to the methodology of G. L. Apanasenko. Conclusions: The research shows that the current system of physical training of higher education institutions with special training conditions is ineffective and needs to be refined in order to strengthen the health of instructor officers, increase their efficiency and, in general, improve the effectiveness of training future police officers at higher education institutions.

A number of studies have considered the evaluation of efficiency in higher education institutions. In this paper, we focus on the issue of revenue efficiency, in particular ascertaining the extent to which, given output prices, producers choose the revenue maximising vector of outputs. We then relax the price taking assumption to consider the case in which the market for some outputs is characterised by monopolistic competition. We evaluate efficiencies for English institutions of higher education for the academic year 2012–13 and find considerable variation across institutions in revenue efficiency. The relaxation of the price-taking assumption leads to relatively small changes, in either direction, to the estimated revenue efficiency scores. A number of issues surrounding the modelling process are raised and discussed, including the determination of the demand function for each type of output and the selection of inputs and outputs to be used in the model.

The academic competence of cadets is the basis for the formation of professional and social-personal competence of a specialist. Academic competence is a set of skills to independently obtain, process and apply knowledge in the field of jurisprudence, as well as to study and explain from a theoretical point of view the phenomena associated with the implementation of law enforcement. The specifics of training in higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs predetermines the need for a systematic organization of activities to develop the academic competence of cadets. The article describes the stages of designing the educational process, taking into account the stages of professionalization of cadets in the learning process.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the state of police education in California. There is limited national data on the topic and this study aims to improve our knowledge by studying the state with the highest number of law enforcement officers in the USA. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 162 local law enforcement agencies (police and sheriffs’ departments) in California completed a 32-question electronic survey about police education and training. Findings – Findings reveal that California agencies are more likely than agencies nationwide to offer incentives to encourage officers to pursue higher education. Although most departments require only a high school diploma, 35 percent of sworn officers are college graduates. Most college-educated officers are employed by medium and large sized agencies in urban counties which pay above-average salaries. Research limitations/implications – This paper demonstrates how the prevalence of educated police officers varies and that higher education requirements do not adversely affect the hiring of female officers. It also provides insight from police managers regarding their concerns about requiring a four-year degree and perceptions of whether college-educated officers are actually better officers than non-college-educated officers. Practical implications – Research findings may be instructive to police managers wanting to increase the number of sworn officers in their agency who hold a college degree. Originality/value – It adds to the literature by describing the education level of police officers in California and providing information about the educational requirements and incentives offered to officers by law enforcement agencies. No previous study has addressed this topic, even though California employs 12 percent of all sworn peace officers in the USA.
