Many boys in childhood to the question "What do you want to become?" Answer: "Police". This is perhaps the most common answer, as is "astronaut". For some, this has remained just a childhood dream - and nothing more. But there are those who have chosen their life path since childhood and really dream of working in law enforcement, fighting illegality and crime and helping people. After all, this profession is one of the most important for the state. Police officers protect public order, property, life and he alth of our citizens. Without the police, chaos and anarchy would reign in society. Do you want to become a police officer?
Where they study to be policemen
So, to get the coveted form, it is not enough just to unlearn at a comprehensive school. This will require special skills (not only physical) and specialized education.
In our country, future law enforcement officers are trained by a special police school. This is an educational institution that produces qualified workers in this field. It is in the police schools that they provide the special knowledge and practical skills necessaryfor the successful completion of official tasks, which are sometimes not only difficult, but also life-threatening. Such institutions are designed mainly for the male population of the country. Girls are rare here - no more than 10%.
Choose a school
So, what is the school of the police? In Russia, there are several stages of obtaining a "police" education.
The first stage is the secondary school of the police or the cadet corps. Also included are some colleges that offer the speci alty "Law and Social Security Organization" (lawyer).
Educational institutions of this type are Astrakhan, Novosibirsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yelabuga, Bryansk and other secondary special police schools of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. As well as the Moscow and Simbirsk Cadet Corps of Justice. Secondary police schools offer daytime, evening and correspondence courses. The duration of study in such an institution depends on the form of study and on the education already available, but does not exceed three years.
The maximum rank that can be awarded upon graduation from a secondary specialized institution is junior lieutenant.
If you want something better and more significant, then you have to get a higher education. So, you need the Higher School of Police. Such institutions include: Moscow, Krasnodar and St. Petersburg Universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Nizhny Novgorod, Volgograd and Omsk academies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as the Academy of Economic Security,located in Moscow, the Siberian Legal, Barnaul, Voronezh, Rostov, Saratov and other institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Here, as well as in secondary schools, the possibility of daytime, evening and correspondence forms of education is provided. Study lasts up to 5 years.
The Higher Police School makes it possible in the future, upon graduation, to apply not only for higher ranks, but also for prestigious work in the internal affairs bodies, the prosecutor's office, justice, etc.
Well, the highest level is the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. It is she who trains police leaders at various levels and retrains personnel.
Who can become a cop
So, any citizen of the Russian Federation can become a candidate for admission to the police school. The main requirements for applicants are good physical fitness and good he alth.
For enrollment, you must pass the exams well. The police school also requires fairly high marks in the certificate of basic or secondary education.
There are age restrictions for candidates. So, the maximum age of an applicant should not exceed 25 years.
How to enter the police school
So, you are serious about acting. What to do?
At the end of the nine classes of a regular school, a secondary police school is waiting for you. Usually young people enter there who have permanent registration in the area in which such an institution is located. Admission to school takes some time, requires certainactions and efforts and consists of several stages. Now more about each of them.
Stage 1: Application
The first step for you is to apply for admission to your chosen school. It is written in the name of the director of the educational institution. An important point is that the police school is not en titled to accept a document if it does not contain the signatures of the parents of the student candidate. Parents or guardians are required to give their permission for their child to enter such an educational institution. No way without it.
The application deadline is limited - it can be sent to the school until June 1.
Step 2: checking the "past"
After the police school has accepted your application, it is sent to a special personnel service. There, personal files of each of the applicants are created in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of the Interior. And all information regarding the applicant who submitted the application is being checked and studied.
At this stage, nothing is needed from you, except for the ideal "past". The personnel service carefully checks not only the presence and absence of a criminal record and bringing to criminal or administrative responsibility the student candidate himself, but also his next of kin. So here is how lucky.
At the end of the check, a decision is made: either give a recommendation for enrollment in the police school, or refuse.
Step 3: medical examination
While the “past” is being checked, the applicant himself is not sitting idle. To get into schoolpolice, you must undergo a medical examination. As a rule, this is done at the place of residence of the applicant.
For admission to the medical commission, you must provide:
- results of some tests: for example, blood for syphilis or AIDS, fluorography, ECG of the heart and others;
- an extract from the medical record for the previous five years;
- information about vaccinations already done.
Based on the data provided, the medical commission makes one of the following decisions: whether the candidate is fit or not fit to serve in the police.
Step 4: IQ
First, you need to pass a special test, which determines whether the candidate takes any drugs, suffers from alcohol or other toxic addiction. If the test is passed successfully, the applicant proceeds to the entrance test. At this stage, it is checked at what level is his intellectual development. Here, the police school itself chooses what the test will be. This could be an exam, an interview, or a psychological test (IQ test).
Stage 5: Exams
After passing psychological testing, student candidates are allowed to test the knowledge gained in a comprehensive school. Examinations for admission to the police school are taken in oral and written form. Applicants take the Russian language and Russian history.
Checking knowledge of the Russian language takes the form of a short essay, presentation or dictation. Examon the history of Russia is taken orally.
Step 6: Fitness Test
After the intellectual test, the last and most important stage awaits you. If you successfully pass the physical test, then you are guaranteed admission to the police school.
So, the physical fitness of applicants is checked for certain sports. In addition, the standards for boys and girls are different. For both girls and boys, long (1-2 km) and short (100 m) distances are provided. And also for guys - pulling up on a high bar, for girls - performing certain complex strength exercises.
The result of passing the test can be expressed as "excellent", "good", "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory".
To pass the sprint, guys must run with the following result (in seconds):
- 13, 6 – excellent;
- 14, 2 - good;
- 14, 6 – “satisfactory”.
Girls can run slower and pass with the following result:
- 16, 5 – excellent;
- 17, 1 - good;
- 17, 5 – “satisfactory”.
To pass a long distance run (2 km), guys must have the following result (in minutes and seconds):
- 7, 50 – excellent;
- 8, 10 - good;
- 9, 00 - to "satisfactory".
The long distance for girls is shorter than for boys and is 1 kilometer. They should come running with the following result (in minutes and seconds):
- 4, 25 – excellent;
- 4, 45 - good;
- 5, 00 - to "satisfactory".
Children's pull-ups are rated based on number of reps:
- 12 - excellent;
- 10 - good;
- 6 - to "satisfactory".
Strength exercises for girls (such as abdominal exercises) are also evaluated based on the number of times:
- 30 - excellent;
- 26 - good;
- 24 - to "satisfactory".
If an applicant does not score the required number of points or seconds in at least one of the exercises, he receives a general result - “unsatisfactory”.
A negative result is equivalent to failing the exam, which automatically nullifies the applicant's chances of admission.
Admission to the police school occurs after the admissions committee of the educational institution considers the results of checks at all stages: applications for admission, conclusions of the medical commission, the result of checking for the presence and absence of convictions and bringing to criminal or administrative responsibility, the level of intelligence, as well as grades for entrance exams and physical fitness.
Based on everything passed by the applicant, the commission decides whether this applicant is suitable for studying at the police school or not. But it must be remembered that there are many who wish, and only the most deserving and purposeful are accepted as students.
Cops in skirts
And what about the fair sex? After all, not only boys can be policemen, but girls too. Of course, after all, this profession has long been considered masculine and requires great physical fitness. And some educational institutions, such as cadet corps, generally only accept male students.
But the girls are gradually achieving equality here as well. Today, 20% of police officers are women! And it's not uncommon to see a "cop in a skirt" on the street.
There is no such special educational institution as a police school for girls in our country. Training takes place with the guys. All go through a rigorous selection process. Of course, it is much more difficult for girls to enter such educational institutions, since initially fewer “student places” are created for them. However, upon admission, the standards for them are less than for guys.
Perhaps the most famous girl in the Russian police is Oksana Fedorova - major, as well as the winner of world beauty contests, a successful model, TV presenter, etc.
And yet this is not a woman's profession. Many of the girls who have already become police officers are faced with a very pressing problem: family or work. And this is wrong. After all, a woman should have time for children and a family hearth, but a man should defend the Motherland.
