MY STUDIES

 

           This summer my classmate and I have passed our entrance exams successfully and entered at the National Academy of Internal Affairs. So were admitted to the Academy by competitive examination. Now we are full-time students and freshers. The course of studies lasts four years. After graduating from the Academy we’ll get a higher legal education.

The Academy trains specialists for all branches of law enforcement activities. There are several training and research  institutes, departments, centres and laboratories in the Academy. Among them there are the Chief Staff Management Institute, the Operational Staff of Militia Training Institute, the Investigators and Forensic-Experts Training Institute, the  Law Faculty, the Correspondence and Distant Training Institute, the Juridical Lyceum and some others.

The graduates of our Academy will work as inspectors of  Criminal Investigation Departments, investigators, forensic experts, divisional inspectors, lawyers etc. To become highly-qualified specialists we are to learn many different subjects such as Criminal Law, Administrative Law, Civil Law, Theory of State and Law, Special Tactics, Military Topography, and many others. An officer of police is to be competent not only in his special field but also in such fields as human behaviour and human understanding. In some cases it is impossible to prevent or solve crimes without all that. That’s why an essential part of the curriculum of our educational establishment is the subjects: Crime Psychology, Ethics, Criminology, etc. We are learning traffic regulations car and driving. So cadets major in subjects which are essential for their future service. Besides special subjects we also learn History of Ukraine, Economy, Ukrainian business language, Computer Science, foreign languages and others. For our future work it is necessary to learn to interview witnesses, to interrogate criminals, to examine a crime scene as well as to search for and collect evidence, to establish corpus delicti, to handle  the weapon, to locate  and to apprehend suspects and criminals. To get good professional skills and abilities we are to be hard-working students.

           Our classes begin at 8.30 a.m. and last till 2.20 p.m.. We have three or four lectures, seminars and practical classes a day. At the end of the term we take colloquiums, credits and exams. At the National Academy of Internal Affairs we are preparing for our future profession – crime prevention and crime solution. So there is much work to be done during four years of training. We’ll do our best to study well. Then in four years – and there is no doubt about it – we’ll be specialists of high professional standards and work to the benefit of the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian land protecting law and order.

Професійний добір та формування нових фахівців ОВС

- завдання вищого навчального закладу  МВС України

 

Одним із вирішальних для будь-якого навчального закладу завдань є проблема пошуку та професійного добору кадрів на навчання.                                    

Результати соціoлогічного дослідження засвідчили, що 97,3 % мають вік 17-19 років. Молодий вік абітурієнтів обумовлює їхню освіту - 90% закінчили середню школу, 10% технікуми. Інтелектуальна освітня база абітурієнтів досить  висока -  багато з них мають золоті та срібні медалі.

Анкетування показало, що юнаки до того, як стати абітурієнтами, вели здоровий спосіб життя, займалися спортом. Комплексні соціoлогічні дослідження виявляли досить широкий спектр мотивацій, за якими абітурієнти хочуть бути офіцерами органів внутрішніх справ України.

Умовно всі мотивації можна поділити на 2 групи. До першої відносяться ті, хто своєю працею в МВС України хоче принести користь народу, боротися з кримінальним світом, захищати людей від злочинців.

Друга група мотивацій - це бажання мати добрий заробіток, пізнати романтику в службі, отримати диплом юриста, захистити себе і рідних від злочинців.

Our Hostel

 

           The students of our University are provided with hostel accommodation. The hostel of our university is a big building of modern design. There are eight floors in it, that’s why it has a lift. It also has all modern conveniences except hot water – central heating, running water, gas, electricity, ect.. There is also a public telephone on each of the floors. The rooms of the hostel are not very large but they are light and clean. The furniture which we have in our rooms is very comfortable. As a rule it is of dark colors.

           On each of the floors there is a reading-room where we prepare our lessons, make our projects and drawings. In the building of our hostel there is also a common room where we have a rest if we have time. Here we play various games and have discussions. Discussions on different topics of art, literature and music take place on Saturdays as a rule. There is a TV set in this room too.

           The room in which I live is almost square. It is four meters long and almost three meters high. On one side there is a round table with four chairs around it. On the other side there are two beds. There are two of us in the room. My room-mate is also a first-year student. He is a friend of mine and we study in the same group.

            There is not much furniture in our room. On one of the walls there are bookshelves which are full of textbooks and other things necessary for our studies. We have also a built-in wardrobe where we keep our things.

            When summer holidays come, we leave the hostel and go home.

Police Training in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Every police officer must know something about various professions and skills: with a job like his, he is everything : lawyer, teacher, social worker, security expert, diplomat, traffic engineer.   

In England and Wales entry to the police force is open to men and women between the ages of 18 and a half and 30. Candidates must be either British or Commonwealth citizens, physically fit and have good eyesight. There are no longer any minimum height requirements. Normally, you can join the police force after having left school with A Levels, O levels or after an apprenticeship. Lower-grade GCSE applicants without an apprenticeship and with a minimum age of 16 can join a police cadet corps, which prepares its members for police work and also offers them the opportunity to take O or A levels.

There is an educational test taken by all candidates regardless of educational achievement. All police officers go through a basic training   course lasting several months and spend a total of two years as probationers. So for two years, officers serve as constables on probation and continue their training in accordance with a structured training programme. Towards the end of the second year, they take their final examination and are confirmed in the rank of constable.

After the initial two years as probationers, they can sit the qualifying examination for promotion to sergeant and, after 2 years as a sergeant, the inspector’s exam. On promotion to chief inspector they go to the Police Staff College for an eight-week junior command course. The senior command course prepares officers of superintendent rank for the highest echelons of the police service. In addition, forces provide a wide range of specialists and general training courses for officers at all stages of their careers.

Apart from their local training, officers may be selected to attend the National Police Staff College at Bramshill which trains senior officers. In addition, there is an accelerated promotion course at Bramshill for officers who  are seen as having strong potential for rapid promotion to senior ranks.

The Scottish Police College provides training for junior and senior  officers and for detectives and traffic officers. There are senior command courses as well as an accelerated promotion programme.

In Northern Ireland all regular recruits have 14 weeks’ initial  training, following which they complete a two-year probationary period before their appointments are confirmed.

Police training in England and Wales

 

The present  two-year probation period is split into a foundation phase (weeks 1 to 31) and a post-foundation phase (weeks 32 to 104).

The foundation phase consists of seven modules.

Module 1 - four weeks in the force. It is an 'Introduction to Policing'. Under close supervision, probationers observe practical policing, work in police stations, contact community agencies, familiarize themselves with basic equipment, e.g. personal radio. They are also sworn in and equipped with their uniform.

Module 2 - ten weeks at the district training centre. It builds upon the experience gained in Module 1, using case studies, and continues to develop the knowledge and skills required for effective policing.

Module 3 - five weeks in the force. Probationers work on a one-to-one basis with trained tutor constables, putting into practice the skills and knowledge developed in the previous modules.

Module 4 - four weeks at the training centre. It is again based upon case studies where more complex policing problems are analyzed.

Module 5 - one week annual leave.

Module 6 - five weeks in the force. Probationers deal with even more complex issues, the aim being to reach a stage where they are considered suitably qualified to under­take independent patrol.

Module 7 - one week in the force. This is the assessment module, where the experi­ence gained from all previous modules is examined and a decision made as to whether the probationer is suitable to patrol on his or her own.

During the post-foundation phase officers are given a minimum of 30 days formal training. This training consists of six phases, each with a case study. There is also provision for local needs to be dealt with in each phase. The actual organization of each phase is determined by the local force within the established national criteria.

Selection and Training of the Police in the USA

 

Standards for police officers vary across the United States, but certain considerations appear to be important in most jurisdictions. Generally speaking, potential police officers must meet some or all of the following  criteria.

1.      Age: minimum age is typically nineteen to twenty-one at the time of first employment.

2.      Height and weight in proportion to each other: to test for body fat composition.

3.      Education: generally a high school diploma or general education diploma, but more departments now require some college.

4.      Agility test: to test physical capabilities required by the job.

5.      Written test: to measure aptitude and intelligence.

6.      Psychological exam: to determine mental fitness for the job; may be required only after an offer of a job has been made.

7.      Medical exam: to ensure that no disabilities that might prevent the applicant from performing the essential functions of the job exist at the time of initial employment; may be required only after an offer of a job has been made.

8.      Polygraph exam: to determine honesty.

9.      Background investigation: to ensure the character of applicants.

10.   Oral interview: to determine applicants’ reactions to  job-related issues.

Many of the traditional requirements for becoming a police officer have come under attack in recent years. Realistically, a number of these requirements have been applied subjectively with the effect (if not the intent) of excluding females and minorities from police work. Height might exclude certain applicants but if those responsible for hiring felt that a certain individual would make a good police officer, the height requirement could be manipulated. As another example of subjectivity, agility tests at one time were set up in such a way to routinely exclude women, but these tests have since been shown to have little or no relationship to activities performed by police officer. Today, tests of physical agility must be based on job task analyses.

Psychological exams are generally considered to be unreliable. Because no one knows what the characteristics of an ideal police officer are, such testing seems highly questionable. Still, liability issues related to negligent hiring lead most police agencies to continue to require psychological exams.

Written tests vary tremendously in content and form. Some are job related or situation specific, whereas others are general aptitude or intelligence tests. The validity of most of these tests in terms of predicting successful performance as a police officer is yet to be established.

Similarly, the oral board interview is extremely subjective. Although race, gender, dress, and so on are formally excluded from the criteria to be considered by the board in most jurisdictions, but these variables are frequently subjects of discussion among board members and undoubtedly influence the ratings received by applicants.

Applicants who successfully meet the requirements outlined above and are selected for police work generally go to a training institute or academy where they receive training in a variety of police subjects, including self-defense, weapons, first aid, criminal law, and human relations. Successful completion of a training program leads to the status of probationary officer, a status that normally lasts from six months to a year. During the probationary period, the new officer receives on-the-job training from senior officers and supervisors. If the recruit successfully completes the probationary period, he or she becomes a full-fledged police officer.

So in an attempt to meet public expectations, police selection and training procedures were developed and modified. Recruits are expected to be mentally and physically fit, of reasonably good character, and able to fit into the police subculture.
