The analysis of the peculiarities of the official activity of the employees of the National Police of Ukraine and the normative documents that regulate the organization of tactical training in the system of primary professional training and professional training of police officers is carried out. It was stated that the performance of official duties by police officers is associated with constant contact with various segments of the population. There are many cases of encounters with aggressive people who are intoxicated, mentally unbalanced, etc. When confronted with government officials, citizens are often emotionally agitated and may not always respond adequately to law enforcement. In such situations, the tactical training of police officers is important, which is seen as the formation of special motor skills and abilities aimed at ensuring personal safety in the performance of official duties related to contact with the offender. A thorough study of the situations of practical activity of patrol police officers testifies to the existing problems in the tactical training of law enforcement officers. Erroneous actions of employees are partly explained by insufficient knowledge of external manifestations of threats from the offender, psychological behavior, low level of skills of effective communication with "problem people", the ability to control their own mental state in the performance of official duties related to communication with emotionally aroused individuals, the ability to control the situation and the actions of others without escalating conflict Such conditions increase the requirements for tactical training of personnel. It is established that in the context of the service function of the National Police of Ukraine, tactical training needs to be improved. Based on the elaboration of normative documents and scientific literature, the specifics of tactical training of police officers at different stages of professional training are highlighted. The need to improve the system of police training through further practical orientation was stated. Prospects for further research are the need to substantiate, develop and fill the content of situational tasks, which are used during training sessions on tactical training in the system of police training.

In the article, on the basis of analysis of norms of the current legislation of Ukraine and scientific views of scientists, ways of improving administrative procedures and organizational principles of professional training of police officers in Ukraine are worked out. It is emphasized that the problem of improving vocational training has long ago become a strategic benchmark for the development of the state’s labor sector at the national level as a whole and in the field of police in particular. This is clearly demonstrated by the legislative provisions of different legal acts, each of which outlines specific aspects of the development of administrative procedures and organizational principles of police training in Ukraine. It is emphasized that, first of all, the improvement of the professional training of police officers in Ukraine should be due to the improvement of the legal framework. It is necessary to create a single legal act that would, firstly, consolidate the notion of vocational training, secondly, define its levels and types, and the mechanism of their implementation, thirdly, clearly establish the subjects of vocational training and their competence. This act should be an amendment to the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police” and replace a large number of by-laws existing today. It is substantiated that the professional training of police officers in the future should be “diminished”, since the existence of four of its varieties does not correspond to current international trends, and has no expected effect. It is most appropriate to take foreign experience as the basis in this perspective. According to him, vocational training should be cyclical, step-by-step, that is, the police officer should receive initial professional training in obtaining the basic directions of fulfillment of the duties assigned to him and, as he passes the service, improve his qualification and educational level through special courses, training and training in institutions of higher education for the purpose of obtaining relevant educational degrees.

The article presents the results of the analysis of regulatory and scientific sources, which reveal the features of police training for EU countries at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. It was found that the integration of European states in the second half of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century contributed to the fact that the system of police training was changing in accordance with the changes in the political and socio-economic situation in individual EU countries and in the Community as a whole. The police training system itself is part of the integration processes within the framework of the integration of the EU law enforcement and police systems. Features such as the practical orientation of training, its continuous nature, and its close relationship to practice are characteristic of all police training institutions in EU countries. At the same time, EU countries are ambivalent about the innovations proposed by the 1999 Bologna Convention. States with established educational systems (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) are more conservative and less inclined to abandon their own educational standards, unlike Eastern European states that pursue radical reform policies, including reforms in police training. In police education programs, a significant number of hours are devoted to the development of skills and abilities to work with scientific and technological means, which are extremely widely used in police work in foreign countries. It was also found that police officers are thoroughly and comprehensively prepared for close interaction of national services, both through Interpol and directly with each other. At conferences, symposiums, seminars, exchanges of experience and delegations, increased attention is certainly given to police training.

The Impact

The article discusses the problem of the methodology and content of the training for developing the skills of confident behavior of employees of internal affairs bodies. The urgency of the problem is associated with the need for intensive socio-psychological training of police officers in terms of organizing and maintaining trusting relationships between the population and police structures. Confidentbehavior of a police officer is considered as a factor of professional effectiveness in solving problems related to the impact on the legal consciousness and behavior of citizens. The necessity of developing skills of confident behavior at the stage of his professional training in specially organized conditions of intensive group interaction - training in developing skills of confident behavior is emphasized. An analysis of approaches to understanding the phenomena of self-confidence and confident behavior in connection with the effectiveness of the police officer in social interaction allows us to determine the strategic directions of socio-psychological training. Special organizational regulations and substantive content of the training for developing confident behavior skills are proposed. The purpose, objectives, principles, methods of the training in accordance with the profiles of the training of graduates of higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia are determined. The importance of the harmonious combination of active learning methods with theoretical training and diagnostic procedures as a factor that positively affects the process of self-knowledge and self-development is emphasized.

The subject of this article is the issue of organisational modelling using the example of the Police Training Centre. It attempts to show the theoretical basis, experience and innovative solutions in the field of organisational modelling that were implemented in the Police Training Centre. The organisational unit was established on 27 August 1990 under Ordinance No 85 of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and its role is to prepare specialist personnel to perform duties related to the security of citizens and the maintenance of public order and safety. Currently, the Police Training Centre operates on the basis of a statute, and the overriding task of the Police Training Centre is the professional training of police officers and employees of the Police. The main activity in the area of modelling the organisation of the Police Training Centre was actions, associated with changes in the establishment, in relation to the allocation of posts in the different organisational units. This contributed to the standardisation of structures of all units such that there was equivalence in the number and grade of posts. An extension of the design of the systematic solution was an innovative project to develop a task matrix as the basis for the preparation of job description cards. Actions related to the implementation of the concept formed the basis for work on the revision of the rules and regulations of the Police Training Centre. The project facilitated the current assignment of tasks to individual organisational units. The new rules and regulations that entered into force delegated the development of standardised job description cards based on the approved task matrix. This article is an attempt to demonstrate that Police organisational units should undergo a continuous process of improvement in order to better meet their responsibilities.

Police Encounters

AbstractEncounters between individuals with a mental disorder and police forces can be harmful and dangerous for both parties involved. Previous research explored mostly police officers’ subjective experience of these encounters and focused on their recommendations. The present study takes the perspective of individuals with a mental disorder and investigates their subjective experience of dealing with the police. Thirteen semi-structural interviews were conducted with individuals with a history of mental health problems who have had encounters with the police and experienced contact-based anti-stigmatization interventions as consultants. Interviews revolved around the subjective experience of these police encounters. Questionnaires were used to inquire about context factors, individuals’ perceptions of police officers, and their sense of security during these encounters. Furthermore, individuals were asked to rate police officers’ ability to recognize signs and symptoms of ill mental health and give recommendations in regard to adequate communication strategies, interventions, and police training. The results indicate that encounters were experienced predominantly as positive and non-threatening. Participants emphasized the importance of communication strategies with a focus on empathy and respect. Keeping personal space and satisfying basic needs was recommended. Contact-based anti-stigmatization interventions were regarded as an effective approach to reduce stigma. Empathy and respect are perceived as key strategies for police officers when dealing with individuals with a mental disorder. To promote these strategies, trialogical anti-stigmatization interventions and crisis intervention training, including communication skills and face-to-face contact, are promising approaches.

AbstractThe current study aims to investigate the current structure and delivery of police recruit training. Using a case study approach, we systematically observed a semester of police training that consisted of 30 h with a specific focus on police use of force training. Field notes and time-on-task data was analysed using an inductive approach. The results revealed, first, a lack of constructive alignment of the training modules and learning tasks within the training settings. Second, an adherence to traditional linear approaches to training resulting in high amounts of augmented instruction and feedback and a one-size-fits all approach to technical and tactical behaviour. Third, a non-efficient use of available training time with low amounts of engagement in representatively designed tasks that stimulated problem-solving processes. Based on these results we suggest that there is a need: (a) for police trainers and curriculum designers to align the objectives, practice structure and delivery of police training with the needs of police officers in the field (e.g. conflict resolution); (b) for police trainers to employ more learner-centred pedagogical approaches that account for individual action capabilities and resources, and allow for high amounts of training time with representatively designed training tasks; and (c) for senior managers of overall police training decision-makers to provide the necessary trainer education, in order to furnish trainers with the knowledge and tools to appropriately plan, deliver and reflect upon their practice in keeping with concept of constructive alignment.
