Introduction. The district commissioner of the police throughout his professional activity is trained in combat techniques of fighting to protect against attack and detain criminals [1]. However, in the practice of professional activity of district police officers, situations of an unexpected attack by a criminal armed with a knife or a heavy object in situations of limited space, for example, an apartment, are often encountered. In these situations, the life and health of an employee can be saved by the skills of using various improvised means used to protect against blows. It is necessary to develop a set of effective methods of using improvised means to protect against attacks on district police officers.
The purpose of the study is to identify effective ways to use improvised means to protect against blows from a criminal armed with a knife or a heavy object.
Methodology and organization of the study. The experiment was conducted in 2022-2023 on the basis of the Tyumen Institute for Advanced Training of Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The research used scientific methods: analysis and generalization of self-defense techniques and situations of attack on police officers; modeling of typical situations of the use of physical force; pedagogical experiment, testing. The students of the experimental group (EG) studied the techniques of using improvised means to protect themselves from blows with a knife, a heavy object.
The results of the study and their discussion. As a result of the study, the methods of using a stick and a belt in techniques of protection from knife attacks practiced in jiu-jitsu were revealed. These methods can also be used in methods of protection against stabbing, with a heavy object in situations of attack on district police officers in conditions of limited space, for example, apartments. To do this, it is advisable to use various items that are within the employee's reach: items of clothing, for example, a scarf, clothes, or a tablecloth, towel. The very technique of blocking the striking hand and disarming it remains identical to the technique described in jiu-jitsu.
The developed set of techniques has been tested in the physical training of district police officers studying under the professional training program for persons in the position of a "Policeman" employee. At the end of the training period, it was revealed that in EG, the vast majority of students successfully performed protection from being stabbed using improvised materials, compared with EG (56.2% more).
Conclusion. The results of the study revealed the effectiveness of improvised means to protect local police officers from blows from a criminal armed with a knife or a heavy object.
