The professional training of employees of security and convoy police units related to the lawful use of firearms should be practice-oriented. The developed standards with weapons, special shooting exercises, as well as simulated situations of operational and service activities, in fire training classes, should take into account the specifics and conditions of service activities of employees of this category. The problem of the study arises from the contradictions between the insufficient regulatory and legal provision of fire training of employees of security and convoy police units and, in this regard, the need to develop pedagogical technologies for practice-oriented training of employees of security and convoy police units to the lawful use of weapons. In this scientific work, the author presents the results of a retrospective analysis of regulatory legal documents regulating the organization of fire training in the internal affairs bodies, namely, Shooting courses and Fire training Manuals from 1992 to the present. In solving the research tasks, the following methods were used – general scientific methods: description, comparison, generalization, classification. Empirical data were systematized on the basis of mathematical statistics methods and presented using a graphical data analysis method. The scientific novelty of the study lies in determining the practice-oriented conditions of shooting exercises that contribute to improving the fire readiness of employees of security and convoy police units. The main results of the study are: - determination of criteria (physical conditions) for the orientation of exercises of shooting courses and fire training Manuals for the practice of using weapons by employees of security and convoy police units; - study of technical actions with weapons that ensure the necessary level of preparedness of employees of security and convoy police units for the lawful use of weapons. One of the key conclusions reached by the author is that when developing regulatory legal documents related to the organization of fire training in the Department of Internal Affairs, the practice of using firearms by employees of security and convoy police units, as well as the specifics and conditions of official and professional activity, was not sufficiently taken into account.
