An approach to the implementation of measures to reduce incidents when receiving and handing over weapons and ammunition

In this study, the author analyzes the causes and factors contributing to the occurrence of situations of unprofessional actions of policemen in handling combat hand-held small arms related to an involuntary shot when receiving and preparing it for service or when handing over weapons at the end of service. The author examines in detail such issues as: -ensuring security when receiving and handing over weapons in the duty station; - the lack of a unified approach, in the order of actions performed with weapons when loading and discharging it in the duty station; - the use of a single algorithm of employee actions and schemes for it, as ways to reduce cases of injury when loading and discharging weapons. The subject of the study is the algorithm of actions of employees when handling weapons when receiving and handing them over in the duty station. The object of the author's research is the professional training of employees of the territorial bodies of internal affairs of the Russian Federation. Research methods: generalization, comparative analysis, included observation; system analysis and synthesis of practical experience of fire training and interdisciplinary literature review on the studied problem; sociological methods: expert assessments; mathematical and statistical data processing. The main conclusions of the study are: 1.The causes of accidents with firearms are due to non-compliance with safety measures when handling weapons; 2. The lack of an exact sequence of actions with weapons when loading weapons and discharging them manifests itself in the chaotic execution of these actions. 3. The lack of a single algorithm for loading and unloading weapons is the cause of accidents. 4. The use of the algorithm of the employee's actions when loading weapons before entering service and discharging them upon delivery and the scheme for it, placed in the duty stations in the place for loading and discharging weapons, will minimize the likelihood of an accidental shot. A special contribution of the author is the development of a single algorithm and a scheme for it, which are introduced into the educational process and professional activities of the ATS staff. The novelty of the research lies in the development of a single algorithm for the actions of employees with weapons when receiving and handing them over to the duty station.
