Study of some features of the foreign countries special police units activities
Abstract
The activity of special police units of such countries as Poland, Germany and the USA has been analyzed. The analysis has been carried out in order to determine the priority areas of the domestic special police units member’s personality formation, as well as in the extreme combat conditions.
In the process of theoretical analysis, the basic principles of training police officers serving in special police units of foreign countries have been determined.
The study of special literature has made it possible to state that the training of future officers of the special police unit will consist of two key structural elements, namely basic training, including physical, psychological, medical and fire training, and special training, the essence of which is to acquire and improve skills related to the profile of the special police unit. The latter involves the acquisition of knowledge of mine action, techniques for using a radio station, techniques of forced entry into the building and release of hostages, skills of extreme control and techniques of aiming fire at the vehicle, scuba diving techniques and express interrogation methods.
A general description of the police functions of special police units in countries such as Poland, Germany and the United States is given. The conditions that prompted the creation of new police units with special functions in these countries are considered, the factors of their reorganization from the beginning to the present are determined. Information on the stages of selection, organizational structure and logistics is provided. The general tendencies characteristic of special police divisions of the mentioned countries are singled out, among which there are increased requirements and strictly regulated selection, special status within the branch department and identical functional responsibilities.
Taking into account the requirements for special forces, they will be able to perform tasks effectively if they have certain qualities, including, in our opinion, persistence, self-control, independence and determination.
The separation of these qualities in the future will allow to consider the implementation of the latest tools and methods in the training of members of domestic special police units.
