How to enter the police school for a girl

The Constitution of the Russian Federation guarantees the equality of men and women, and this norm is fully respected in law enforcement agencies. Of course, there are units where there are practically no women (OMON, SOBR and other units with exceptional requirements for physical fitness), however, for example, girls are willingly accepted into the inquiry and investigation. Some units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are staffed mainly by women (for example, the unit for work with juvenile offenders).

Accordingly, many girls, while still at school, begin to think about how to apply for a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future and quite often turn their attention to the educational institutions of this department. By tradition, many such educational institutions are still called police schools, although the vast majority of such institutions are not schools at all, but academies, institutes, universities and colleges (with the exception of those that train dog handlers for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they still have the status schools).

In order to enter the police force, you can get 2 types of education:

1. Secondary specialized - in colleges that have a corresponding department (for boys, Suvorov schools of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also available, where girls are not taken).
2. Higher - in one of the universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Future employees of inquiry and investigation can also receive a legal education at a civilian university.

In order to enter, a girl with incomplete secondary education (9 classes of a regular school) will need to take the following steps:

1. Submit an application to the head of the educational institution. In the application, in addition to the signature of the candidate herself, signatures of the parents will be required confirming their consent to the fact that the daughter will go to study as a police officer. The application must be submitted no later than June 1 of the current year.
2. Pass a medical examination.
3. Submit a physical fitness test.
4. Pass an interview in the humanities subjects of the school curriculum.
5. Get tested by a psychologist.
6. Pass a background check of both the candidate herself and her close relatives (for the absence of a criminal record, administrative offenses, etc.).

Medical Commission

It is held directly at the police school itself, usually in June-July. Candidates are checked for the absence of diseases that prevent future service in the police.

The results of blood tests (general, HIV, Wasserman reaction) and urine, an ECG with stress, a certificate of vaccinations, as well as a medical card for the last 5 years are presented for the medical board.

In addition, there is a list of diseases with which it is better not to come to the medical examination. These include, in particular:

Don't know your rights?

• severe myopia;
• tuberculosis;
• cardiovascular diseases starting with moderate severity;
• hepatitis;
• consequences of serious injuries;
• mental disorders;
• drug or alcohol addiction.

However, even for healthy girls, the selection is quite difficult.

Physical training

Oddly enough, the requirements for physical training for cadets of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are higher than for existing employees. So, for admission to the police school, you will have to take:

• shuttle run;
• 1000 m run;
• strength exercises (push-ups, pull-ups).

Specific standards often change, so they must be clarified immediately before admission. Although the requirements for girls are lower than for boys, however, candidates for training are often eliminated at this stage.

Checking through the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Every person who wants to enroll in training and later join the police is carefully checked by the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. By the way, that is why you can only enter the school of the region in which you live.

For verification, the head of the educational institution sends a request to the police at the place of residence of the potential applicant. During the check, it is clarified whether she is registered with a criminal record, whether she was brought to administrative responsibility, information is raised on close relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, etc.). The check is carried out according to the same rules as for candidates for the positions of police officers, therefore personnel services are engaged in the search for information.

Based on the results of the audit, the personnel department of the relevant subdivision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs makes one of two decisions:

• recommend a girl for enrollment in a police school;
• do not recommend.

The final decision is made by the head of the school. In the presence of exceptional circumstances, he can enroll even the girl who has criminal relatives, although this happens extremely rarely.

Many boys in childhood to the question "Who 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 health of our citizens. Without the police, chaos and anarchy would reign in society. Do you want to become a police officer?

Where do you study to be a police officer?

So, in order to get the coveted form, it’s not enough just to unlearn at a comprehensive school. This will require special skills (not only physical ones) 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 schools of the police that the practical skills necessary for the successful performance of official tasks, which are sometimes not only difficult, but also life-threatening, are given. Such establishments are designed mainly for the male population of the country. Girls are rare here - no more than 10%.

Choosing a school

So, what is the police school like? In Russia, there are several stages of obtaining a "police" education.

The first stage is the secondary school of the militia or the cadet corps. Also here are some colleges that offer the specialty "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 day, evening and duration of study in such an institution depends on the form of education 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, Siberian Law, Barnaul, Voronezh, Rostov, Saratov and other institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Russia. Here, as well as in secondary schools, the possibility of daytime, evening and correspondence forms of education is provided. The 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 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 the leaders of the police at various levels and retrains personnel.

Who can become a police officer

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 health.

To be admitted, 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 the applicant should not exceed 25 years.

How to get into police school

So, you are serious about doing it. What to do?

At the end of the nine classes of a regular school, a secondary police school awaits 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 certain actions 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 entitled 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. Nothing without this.

The deadline for submitting an application is limited - it can be sent to the school before

Stage 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, and all information relating to the applicant who submitted the application is 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, how lucky.

At the end of the check, a decision is made: either give a recommendation for enrollment in a police school, or refuse.

Stage 3: medical examination

While the “past” is being checked, the applicant himself is not sitting idle. In order to enter the police school, it is necessary to pass 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:

• the 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 previous vaccinations.

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.

Stage 4: IQ

First, it is necessary 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. It can be an exam, an interview or a psychological IQ).

Stage 5: Exams

Upon 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 the history of Russia.

Testing knowledge of the Russian language takes place in the form of a short essay, presentation or dictation. The exam in the history of Russia is taken orally.

Stage 6: fitness check

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 preparation 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 after passing the test can be expressed by the wording: "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), the guys must have the following result (in minutes and seconds):

• 7.50 - "excellent";
• 8.10 - "good";
• 9.00 - "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 - "satisfactory".

Pull-ups for young men are evaluated depending on the number of times:

• 12 - "excellent";
• 10 - "good";
• 6 - "satisfactory".

Strength exercises for girls (for example, exercises for the abdominal muscles) are also evaluated depending on the number of times:

• 30 - "excellent";
• 26 - "good";
• 24 - "satisfactory".

If the applicant does not score the required number of points or seconds for at least one of the exercises, he receives the overall result - “unsatisfactory”.

A negative result is equivalent to failing the exam, which automatically nullifies all the applicant's chances of admission.

Enrollment in the police school occurs after the admission 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 a criminal record and criminal or administrative liability, the level of intelligence, as well as grades for entrance exams and physical training.

Based on everything passed by the applicant, the commission makes a decision 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 worthy 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 in some educational institutions, such as cadet corps, generally only boys are accepted as students.

But the girls are gradually achieving equality here as well. Today, 20% of police officers are women! And it is no longer uncommon to meet 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 - a major, as well as a winner of world beauty contests, a successful model, TV presenter, etc.

And yet it 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.
