Behavior (police)

The police behavior (abbr. PE) describes the practical actions of police officers .

The topic is particularly relevant when processing police operations (e.g. implementation of measures , especially with regard to the use of direct coercion and police tactics ).

PE is the training for this application. The training is taught in police training as operational training or as part of advanced training . The basis is, among other things, the guideline 371 ( self- protection -nfD- ).

meaning

PE serves the successful and professional implementation of measures and similar activities, the protection of bystanders and self-protection ( self-protection ). The exercise of state authority by police officers is subject to the principle of proportionality and a large number of rules. The primary goal of police training is to train the officers to have a high sense of responsibility so that they can make decisions even in extreme situations that can be assessed as appropriate and correct in retrospect.

The training and further education for this is carried out by experienced specialists in small groups, in train or department strength or in large exercises. Thereby u. a. Practical scenarios are shown that the emergency services must master in a school-based manner and without legal errors. The practical relevance is created through the transfer of stress, real practice environments (apartments, houses, screams), real situations, real operational resources (vehicles, radio, partly sharp weapons, etc.) and actors. Some police officers videograph the scenarios so that they can be viewed and discussed together at the end of the exercise.

The exercises must be carried out regularly so that they are automated. The aim is to standardize the behavior of law enforcement officers in dangerous situations.
