Physical Training of Department of Internal Affairs Staff as a Factor of Increasing the Efficiency of the Fight Against Crime

In this article, we studied the impact of the physical training of police officers on the performance of their official tasks and the fight against crime. We studied methods for improving the physical training of police officers, as well as the need to study the methods of struggle and forceful detention of criminals. It was established that an important role in physical training is played by the training of police officers in hand-to-hand combat, wrestling and forceful detention of offenders. Each employee must have the ability, if necessary, to resort to the use of brute physical force and prevent the commission of a crime, as well as to possess the skills of forceful detention of the offender. If, in the process of education and training of police officers, attention is not paid to their physical indicators and the ability to use the skills of fighting and combat, this can directly affect the resolution of cases and bringing the perpetrators to justice. When detaining an offender, there is a high probability that he will comply with the legal requirement of an authorized person, and will also resist detention and arrest. In such a situation, the officer must, first of all, adequately assess the situation, the psychological and mental state of the offender. He may be in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication and thereby pose a threat to the life and health of the employee and surrounding civilians. Also, the offender may be armed with a knife, firearms or other items with which he can cause significant damage to the health of employees during detention. Both male and female employees need to develop self-confidence, their strengths and skills in forceful detention, as well as the absence of fear of pain or injury. Each of them must be aware that no matter how the operational situation unfolds, the offender must be arrested in order to bring him to justice. Otherwise, the criminal will go unpunished, and the feeling of impunity will push him to commit more serious crimes.
