The ability to shoot for future law enforcement officers is an important and competitively oriented skill for entering, building a career in the law enforcement system, since weapon training is part of the professionally applied combat and physical training of employees of state de-partmental structures. Training and improvement of shooting skills is carried out within the framework of conducting weapon training classes. We consider the methods of teaching weapon training for students of specialty 40.05.01 “Legal Support of National Security” on the basis of a civil university – Derzhavin Tambov State University. A weapon training session is the foundation that lays both primary shooting skills and, subsequently, a platform for improving and honing skills. Most of the weapon training classes are not theoretical, but practical. The main methods of teaching both theoretical and practical lessons in weapon training are considered. However, the existing methods of teaching and learning shooting skills does not meet modern practical challenges. Currently, practical exercises for conducting weapon training classes, which are regulated and recommended by the relevant regulatory legal acts (not only general methodic recommendations for training students in civilian universities, but also orders and instructions from specialized educational institutions of law enforcement agencies) do not correspond to the real conditions and situations of the use of firearms. In particular, it is worth considering the fact that calm and quiet conditions for firing a shot are only opportunities in a practical lesson. In real life, weapons have to be used in extreme situations and in conditions of a difficult mental state. In this regard, there is a methodic adaptation of the teaching of the discipline of weapon training to the modern practical realities of the trafficking and use of weapons.

The key concepts that assist to reflect the essence of the process of professional self-realization of police officers have been determined. The professional self-realization of the personality, which is determined by the value and sensory, intellectual and motivational features of the personality, has been studied. Modeling the experience of professional self-realization is the support of the personality for self-development of intellectual and volitional actions. This process is most productive in adolescence – at the time of completion of the development of readiness to choose a particular profession, defining oneself in a possible professional role. The main point of the studied process is the search for a professional image of “oneself”. It has been noted that the key stages of professional self-realization’s formation are: choice of educational institution, place of work (professional self-determination), subsequent choice of the type and direction of activity, formation within the chosen profession, professional growth, which reflects the effectiveness of professional self-realization. Thus, successful self-realization within the profession is based on a reasonable choice of place of study and future profession, continuous professional self-growth and self-development within labor activity, as well as satisfaction with the way of professional life and career. It has been studied that the development of the value sphere of the personality of law enforcement officers contributes to the optimization of their behavior and self-realization in such spheres of life as profession, family life, relationships, hobbies. The motivational component is one of the basic in the system of moral regulation of activities and behavior of professionals and includes a positive attitude to the chosen type of professional activity, the desire for self-realization and achievement, moral and professional attitudes and interests. Motivation acts as a link between the true goals, ideals, beliefs of the cadet and the actions, deeds, decisions he makes. The author has proved the expediency of forming value regulators of behavior and motivational sphere of future law enforcement officers in higher educational institutions with specific learning conditions, which may increase the efficiency of professional activity and self-realization of police officers in modern conditions.

The author of the article has provided the results of the study of the features of personal transformations of the elements of behavioral component of law enforcement officers’ professional activity at the stage of training in higher educational institutions with specific learning conditions. The interdependent elements of behavioral component of a law enforcement officer’s professional activity have been singled out, namely: the adaptive potential of an individual, skills and behavioral self-regulation styles, individual and business qualities, mechanisms of psychological protection and coping-behavior strategies. The author has diagnosed the features of strategies and models of coping behavior of law enforcement officers at different stages of professional training. So, in difficult life situations it is typical for freshmen to come into contact with others for decision-making. Despite this, they are able to take responsibility and solve problems independently, although they still need support from others. Second-year students tend to work together to achieve mutual goals that coincide and to avoid the risk of failure due to long-term analysis of solution options and possible consequences, they are prone to re-insurance and cautious actions. Third-year students seek support from others (family, friends, colleagues), have the ability to solve problematic, difficult situations with other people, are able to cooperate and behave combining inner strength and politeness to the environment. MA students use practically the same with third-year students a set of models of coping behavior, search for social support and interaction with people. However, they are more prone to cautious actions and weighed decisions than third-year students. It has been determined that law enforcement officers at the stage of professional training are least of all inclined to use passive and asocial coping strategies. Thus, freshmen in difficult situations will not demonstrate caution and aggression, second-year students will not avoid difficulties and behave in asocial way, third-year students are also less likely to engage in antisocial and aggressive actions, and MA students are less likely to act aggressively and avoid solving problems.
