Thoughts on the Tasks of Teaching Action Tactics

Abstract

Introduction: The action tactics is a very complex activity of the police officers and synthesizes all other police knowledge. Special attention should be paid to its education, however, the development of teaching competencies in this area has been relegated to the background so far.

Objectives: In my thesis, I primarily examine the tasks of the police, and within that, especially the Faculty of Law Enforcement of the National University of Public Service, as teacher of action tactics, and I make suggestions regarding the development of this job, but these tasks are also present in the tactics training of other law enforcement agencies.

Methodology: I base my findings on the examination of documents on the tasks of teachers of action tactics, on the examination of other domestic and foreign literature, and on my own five-year teaching experience.

Conclusion: I conclude that the training of action tactics is carried out by police officers in teacher positions, and when filling these positions, teacher competencies receive less attention than police competencies. I pay special attention to the analysis of the master teacher job. I introduce some basic pedagogical concepts, including the definition of the words education and training, and point out the difference between the two. I introduce the importance of defining output requirements and developing the pedagogical skills of teachers. I point out the possibilities for increasing teacher competencies, and I highlight the responsibility of teachers for their activities.

Results: In my thesis, I conclude that the development of teacher competencies and police professional competencies should be separated from each other, and that greater emphasis should be placed on the development of teacher competencies than is currently the case.
