ABSTRACT. This work reveals some aspects of the preparation of police officers for the preparation of actions to detain a criminal in a confined space. The technical and tactical actions used during the detention of the offender are considered. To fulfill these duties, the Law of Ukraine «On the National Police» empowers the police officer to exercise any rights provided for by this Law, including the right to use and use firearms. So, a policeman, no matter what position he holds, no matter what duties he performs. Of course, the main and most reliable way to protect against an attack by an armed enemy is the ability to use a personal weapon in a timely manner.

The main defensive actions in situations where the use of personal firearms for protection is not possible are wasted, evasion in combination with repulsion with the hand with the weapon, strikes followed by the use of pain techniques or throws. Pistol, the employee must ensure that the weapon is always pointed in a safe direction for himself and others. As a rule, an armed attack consists of a number of actions: threats, approaching, pointing a weapon and its direct use, that is, firing a shot. To achieve a positive result, a necessary condition is psychological stability in extreme situations. If your level of training is high and you perform techniques flawlessly, your actions automatically become habitual and your psyche becomes stable at a distance and fully control your actions.

The effectiveness of disarming the enemy depends on choosing a favorable moment of the attack and largely depends on the ability to feel the moment, the distance, the position of the hand with the weapon, etc. The speed of movement plays a big role in this. Even if the favorable moment of the attack is chosen tactically correctly, the slow movements of the employee can provoke the opponent and give him the opportunity to react in response – to make a shot before physical contact.

Keywords: police officer, confined space conditions, hand-to-hand combat, service activities, tactics, equipment, detention, firearms.
