The professional activity of the police patrol officers makes high demands on their level of possession of fighting. Training in combat techniques within the framework of the discipline «Physical training» of the main programs of professional training takes place without taking into account the situations of their application. Demonstration of techniques is also strongly abstracted from the situations of practical activities of police officers. The problem of the research is to resolve the contradiction between the need to develop skills of using combat techniques of fighting in situations of operational activity among the officers of the patrol and guard service of the police and the lack of a scientific methodology for situational training of police officers in the use of physical force in the study of professional training programs for police officers. The study was conducted to substantiate the effectiveness and features of using the situational method for training police patrol officers in the use of combat methods of fighting in situations of official activity. As a result of the study, three levels of complexity were developed for the use of combat techniques in situations of operational and service activities of police patrol officers for use in the main training programs for the position of a «Police Officer». According to the results of the final testing, the effectiveness of the use of techniques in typical situations of official activity of the police patrol officers increased by 27.8%, which confirmed the research hypothesis. The special feature of using the situational method is the structuring of situations according to the levels of difficulty of performing of combat techniques. The educational and training process of physical training of the police patrol officers begins in the professional cycle and continues in the variable educational discipline «Actual issues of the activities of the police patrol and guard service units» of the professional-specialized cycle of professional training programs for «Police Officer».

Professional work of police officers focuses on a variety of tasks, including patrolling the city and expediting on-call challenges, reaction to traffic violations, prevention of offenses, their detection and response to them, etc. Permanent interaction with the population in the course of performing professional duties requires the police to develop a certain level of communication skills. Interaction with representatives of different layers of society can often be accompanied by conflicts and manipulations in communication. Police officers point to insufficient formation of their communicative competencies, as well as to their professional vulnerability in performing tasks in certain situations of interpersonal interaction. The objective of the paper is to empirically study the features of social intelligence for future police officers with different levels of communicative tolerance. The authors used the questionnaire "General communicative tolerance" (V. Boiko) and the "Social intelligence" test (G. Gilford in the adaptation of O. Mikhailova) as a psycho-diagnostic tool. The sample consisted of 132 trainees from the institute of postgraduate education of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs. It is theoretically justified that communication in the professional activity of a police officer plays an important role, communicative tolerance is a necessary internal regulator of communication and behaviour within the police activity, and social intelligence in the professional activity of a police officer is a kind of psychological resource for professional development and self-development in the context of his communicative competence. It is noted that the professional activity of a police officer should be regulated not only exclusively by professional standards, standards of conduct contained in laws, orders and instructions, but also by ethical norms, customs and traditions, public opinion and social expectations in society, in turn, it requires a special professionally oriented social intelligence of the future police officers. The authors have empirically established differences in the manifestations of social intelligence among trainees with different levels of communicative tolerance, which is to determine the deficiency of ability to predict the consequences of the behaviour of other people, to understand the logic of development of interaction situations and the ability to highlight key features in a variety of human non-verbal responses in subjects with low levels. The obtained results actualize the need to develop and implement practical recommendations on the formation of communicative competence among future police officers at the stage of their professional training.

The existing model of professional training of police officers in Ukraine by many criteria does not meet the growing needs of society and generally accepted international democratic standards in this area. In these conditions, there is a growing need to reform the education system of future police officers in the Free Economic Zone of Ukraine. The purpose of the study was to clarify the components of the professional competence of instructors in physical training and sports of law enforcement agencies. Materials and methods. Theoretical analysis and generalization of data of special scientific and methodical literature were used in the work, monitoring of information resources of the Internet was carried out. It is established that the current problems that need to be addressed are the lack of a system of centralized training of instructors in physical training and sports, imperfection of the system of implementation of scientific developments in the field of physical culture and sports in practical service and combat activities and failure to take into account the initial level of training of cadets. Results and discussion. The analysis of experience of armies of the leading countries of the world shows that one of characteristic aspects in the organization of preparation of experts in physical training and sports is a combination in performance of tasks of physical training and mass sports. As part of the centralized training of personnel, the practice of using simulation centers and the Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation software is widespread at the training courses for personnel of brigade headquarters (battalions). Promising areas for improving the professional training of instructors of physical training and sports are the use of distance, simulated learning, interactive, situational, game and project methods. Conclusion. Education of physical training and sports instructors requires a comprehensive approach and is carried out by a rational combination of basic types of training. It is established that the components of professional training of instructors of physical training and sports in military institutions are communicative, methodical, organizational-managerial and leadership competencies. The key issues of professional competence of instructors of physical training and sports are organizational and managerial skills. Organizational and managerial competence involves the formation of information-analytical, organizational, control and diagnostic skills. Important functions of heads of departments, instructors of physical training and sports are planning, definition of the purposes, coordination and the logical organization of professional activity of subordinates

Профессиональное выгорание сотрудников полиции представляет собой интегральную совокупность переживаний отрицательного характера, причиной которых являются объективные условия профессиональной деятельности. Выгорание как предиктор профессиональных деформаций личности требует внимания и мониторинга уже на первых этапах профессионального становления субъекта, поэтому в системе морально-психологической подготовки в качестве актуальных выступают задачи его профилактики. Цель исследования - провести анализ и психологическую оценку показателей профессионального выгорания сотрудников патрульно-постовой службы полиции в период профессиональной адаптации. В исследовании приняли участие 110 сотрудников патрульно-постовой службы полиции, которые прослужили в органах внутренних дел от шести месяцев до одного года. Методы исследования представлены психодиагностическим инструментарием: многомерная шкала нервно-психической адаптации И. Н. Гурвича, опросник В. А. Винокура «Отношение к работе и профессиональное выгорание» для специалистов «помогающих» профессий, а также методами математической статистики. Исследование позволило выявить средний уровень профессионального выгорания и проблемы адаптации у 31 % респондентов. В результате исследования установлено, что сотрудники с низким уровнем адаптации переживают состояния эмоционального истощения и напряженности в деятельности. На уровне статистической значимости выявлены признаки проблем с состоянием здоровья и общих адаптационных возможностей. Установлены достоверные значения, свидетельствующие о снижении общей самооценки респондентов, невысокой значимости деятельности и отсутствии направленности на профессиональное развитие в условиях нарушения адаптации. Полученные результаты позволяют разработать коррекционные занятия в рамках морально-психологической подготовки сотрудников полиции, направленные на профилактику профессиональных деформаций личности. Professional burnout of police officers is an integral set of negative experiences which are caused by objective conditions of professional activity. Burnout as a predictor of professional personality deformations is already required attention and monitoring at the first stages of the professional formation of the subject. Therefore, the prevention of professional burnout is an urgent task of moral and psychological training. The purpose of is to analyze and psychologically assess the indicators of professional burnout of police patrol officers during professional adaptation. The research involved 110 police patrol officers who served in the Internal Affairs Agencies from six months to one year. Research methods has been presented by psychodiagnostics tools: I. N. Gurvich's multidimensional scale of neuropsychiatric adaptation, V. A. Vinokur's test «Attitude to work and professional burnout» for specialists in «assisting» professions, as well as methods of mathematical statistics. The research revealed an average level of professional burnout and adaptation problems in 31 % of respondents. The research found that employees with a low level of adaptation experience states of emotional exhaustion and tension in the activity. Signs of health problems and general adaptive capacity were identified at the level of statistical significance. Reliable values indicating a decrease in the general self-esteem of the respondents, the low importance of activity and the lack of focus on professional development in conditions of impaired adaptation were established. The results allow us to develop corrective courses as part of the moral and psychological training of police officers, aimed at the prevention of professional deformations of personality.

The research object is the process of teaching police officers how to use physical force. The research subject is the case-study method used for teaching police officers how to use physical force. Physical training of police officers is aimed at the formation of readiness to legally use physical force for solving official tasks. However, at physical training lessons police officers study combat techniques, and much less attention is paid to teaching how to use these techniques during official service. One of the reasons for insufficient readiness of police officers is the lack of teachers’ attention to the case-study method of training and the possibility to use it at physical training lessons.  The research is based on scientific methods: analysis and generalization of scientific sources; situation simulation; pedagogical experimenting; testing. The authors formulate the following conclusions: 1. The main unified situations of the use of physical force by police officers are: “Identity checks”, “Stopping of public intoxication”, “Assault on a police officer”. 2. Analysis of the results of testing the complex of unified situations of the use of physical force by police officers has demonstrated the effectiveness of using the case-study method for teaching police officers how to use physical force. The effectiveness of applied techniques in the test group was on average 15,6% higher than that in the control group.  The described complex of unified situations can be used at physical training lessons for police officers. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that it proves the effectiveness of the use of the case-study method for teaching police officers how to use physical force.

The author has studied the peculiarities of academic motivation of final-year cadets (n=323) of higher education institutions with specific educational conditions. It has been determined that the dominant motivation for their professional training is internal motivation. They make independent decisions about their professional activities and seek to continue their service within the National Police. Adequate and situational types of professional motivation are typical for cadets. Respondents are aiming for theoretical knowledge. The motives for the professional activities of final-year cadets do not affect their motivation to acquire theoretical knowledge, but they affect the acquisition of professional skills and abilities. The “romantic halo” of the profession remains in the perception of the profession by final-year cadets, but the material component also becomes important. The status of the profession in society and its material remuneration, as well as the curiosity of the chosen profession have significant influence on the motivation of future professional activities of fourth-year cadets. The motivating factor for internally motivated cadets is a sense of effectiveness, as well as status and state’s high salary for labor of law enforcement professionals. Externally positively motivated cadets in case of the decrease in the status of the profession, unrealized career ambitions or the reduction of the material rewards of law enforcement officers may begin to perform their duties formally or may leave the service. Externally negatively motivated cadets are not interested in performing professional duties. On the basis of the obtained data, the author has concluded on the importance of mentoring in the process of professional development of young specialists and the continuation of professional training in the system of postgraduate education and service training of police officers. The author has emphasized the importance of further motivation of final-year cadets within professional activity, in particular the introduction of a “motivational” package for police officers by the state.

The experience of combat operations conducting in the eastern part of Ukraine in 2014-2020 convincingly demonstrated the need to increase the requirements for professional training of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Physical training is one of the main subjects of professional training and an important means of psychophysical readiness formation of servicemen of various military specialties for modern extreme professional and combat activities. The aim of the study is to examine the efficiency of the experimental academic program of the discipline of Physical Education, and Special Physical Training concerning the formation of psychophysical readiness of cadets of technical higher military educational institutions for future professional and combat activity. The study was conducted at S. P. Koroliov Zhytomyr Military Institute. 120 male cadets participated in the experiment. An experimental group (EG), which consisted of the cadets who were studying according to the experimental working academic program of the discipline (n=60), and a control group (CG), which included the cadets studying according to the current working academic program of the discipline (n=60) were formed. The criteria of the efficiency of the experimental program are determined to be the indicators of general and special physical fitness of cadets and the level of professionally important psychological qualities. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. It was discovered that conducting classes according to the experimental program contributed to the improvement of the level of development of the cadets’ special physical qualities, mastering military-applied skills, the formation of professionally important psychological qualities. The most significant changes in EG cadets occurred in overcoming obstacle course, holding the angle on parallel bars, holding the body in a horizontal position, tests for determination of attention distribution and volume, mental performance – at the end of the experiment, and the indicators of EG cadets were significantly (p˂0.05-0.001) better than those of CG.It proves the necessity of correcting the academic program of Physical Education and Special Physical Training for senior cadets with the aim of their psychophysical readiness formation for future professional and combat activity.
