Profession - riot police. Vacancies in the riot police What does the riot police officer do

First, let's figure out why you need it. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with this structure: there I talked about the features of work, tasks and much more from the “inner kitchen”, something that you won’t read on the Internet. In general, 2 main categories get jobs in the OMON: young guys after the army or active employees are transferred from other units.

Let's look at the motivation behind each of them. With current employees, everything is clear - in the OMON the salary is higher (on average by 8-10 thousand) than in the OVO or teaching staff and preferential length of service - a year for 1.5. Those. You can retire after only 13.5 years of service. A police officer from another service writes a report, just like those who get a job "from a civilian" pass the standards and, with successful results, transfer to the service. There were also cases of a simplified transfer from the Federal Penitentiary Service.

After the army mainly come for two reasons:

• Romantics are those who have not played enough "in the war" and want to work in the special forces, but due to their education / physical data / experience they cannot enlist in the special forces.
• Pragmatists are those who want to receive an above-average salary and benefits package, but do not have the education/knowledge for another skilled job.

Now let's deal with the conditions

In order to get a job, you need to meet the standard requirements for a police officer:

• Age from 18 to 35 years. In fact, I have not seen people over 27 years old come. By this age, usually, the craving for adventures has already passed and you want a quiet job.
• No convictions or warrants. There are exceptions to this rule. For example, if you had a drive in your youth for drinking alcohol, but otherwise you fit and behave adequately, then most likely they will meet. Difficulties may arise due to the criminal records of relatives. If there was something serious, there is a high probability of getting a refusal. If not serious, then the way out is simple. Recommendations have now entered the practice - a paper written in any form from an existing employee, that he knows you, recommends you from the positive side and is ready to vouch. So, if there are problems in this direction, think in advance who you can turn to for help.
• Health category A1. Health must be excellent. With serious illnesses, you should not even try your hand. If there are minor problems, then, as they say, act at your own peril and risk. Keep in mind that there is an option to get a medical waiver. I will write in detail about the passage of the medical examination below.
• Passing psychological testing and a polygraph. After the infamous story of a police major who fired from service weapons in Moscow (if I'm not mistaken, it was 2009) and several other similar but less well-known cases, paranoid attention began to be paid to psychological testing. And from 2012-13, they began to use another lie detector before applying for a job with the police.
• Passing standards for physical training and hand-to-hand combat. For ordinary units, the requirements are much softer than for riot police. Here, in addition to the “fizuhi”, you also need to pass the fights - usually it’s 3 rounds of 3 minutes each. The first is wrestling, according to the rules of sambo, the second is striking, arms and legs, the third is complex, according to the rules of hand-to-hand combat.
• Education must be at least secondary - 11 grades of a school or vocational school.
• Military service.

Usually they come to the position of a soldier of an operational platoon. Those who were a sapper in the army can apply for a position in the ITO (engineering department). With a diploma from an institute or university, they rarely immediately take on an officer position. As a rule, if a person comes after the army with a higher education, they offer 2 options - first go to another police unit, and then transfer, or through the position of a fighter.

I’ll clarify right away that the further process of career growth can drag on for years.
A fighter can rise in rank to a senior warrant officer.

The first officer position is the squad leader (junior lieutenant / lieutenant). There are also vacancies for drivers, because many different technologies.
Already in the process of work, if there is a free vacancy, they can be sent for additional training, for example, as a cynologist.

Now about how to get in, so to speak "from the street."

How to get into the OMON after the army

If you are still in the service at the moment and are familiarizing yourself with the conditions of employment in advance, there is advice. Take a testimonial from the place of service and, if possible, ask the commanders (company commander, unit commander) to write a recommendation. This will come in handy later.

Employment process - step by step instructions

Here you are demobilized, a military ID is in your hands and you are burning with the desire to serve in the riot police.

The first thing to do is contact the HR department. I will provide contact information in most regions on the "Contacts" page. If you don’t find yours or the data becomes outdated, google it, there is nothing secret about it. It is better to call in advance and check if there are currently open vacancies and at what time it is better to drive up to apply. Write down what you need to take with you. Usually this is a passport and a military ID.
When you arrive, get ready for the fact that you will first need to communicate with the direct commander - platoon or company. They will ask who you are and why you want to work. It is better to answer honestly and think over the answers in advance. Then fill out the questionnaire in the personnel department and get a referral to the medical board. Write down everything they say so you don't forget. Then they will send you to pass the commission and will wait for the results from you.

Medical Commission

You need to go through 2 commissions: first at the place of residence, then VVK. The residence commission is:

• main dispensaries: tuberculosis (fluorography), narcological and psychiatric dispensaries (certificates that you are not registered)
• doctors in the polyclinic at the place of residence (oculist, surgeon, therapist - a complete list will be written in the direction)
• analysis of blood, urine, cardiogram.

Keep in mind that the test results are valid for only 10 days, so do not delay the passage of the IVC. Otherwise, you will have to waste time and retake some of them. VVK is held in the polyclinic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in your city. Everything is standard, as and when they were taken into the army.

Everything about everything will take 7-10 days, if you do not waste time. After receiving a positive conclusion, you will be assigned a date for passing physical tests.

Delivery of standards

They include physical training and fights. I wrote about this in detail in the article "Standards", you can read.

Then 2 options - if you did not pass, then if there is a desire to get a job in the riot police, they will set a date for re-passing the test. Usually after 2-3 months. If you passed successfully, then they will either take you right away - if there are free vacancies, or they will first be sent to another unit (OVO, convoy), and then they will send a request for a transfer to them, after the workplace is vacated. There is nothing wrong with that - for the first six months you will still be trained at the Training Center - it is common to the entire regional police department.

• do not delay with the passage of the commission at the place of residence and VVK
• be honest when interviewing future management
• prepare in advance for physical fitness tests
• think again if you need it

Bottom line: to get a job in the OMON, you need excellent health, compliance with minimum requirements and passing standards.

Job description:

Features of the profession

An OMON officer, also known as an OMON fighter, is an employee of a special mobile detachment, a policeman trained to work in "hot spots".

Prior to the renaming of the militia into the police, OMON was a special police detachment. Today, this abbreviation is filled with new content: OMON has become a special-purpose mobile detachment. But the essence of the work of a fighter of this detachment remained the same.

OMON is not engaged in solving crimes, its task is to protect law and order, suppress riots. For example, if there is an earthquake, forest fires or a hurricane, OMON officers guard public safety in disaster areas. In particular, it stops looting in abandoned houses.

Another important task of the detachment is to provide combat cover for other police officers. Therefore, OMON takes part in the neutralization of armed criminals, the release of hostages, the suppression of prison riots, etc.

As the name implies, this unit is distinguished by its mobility and readiness to work in emergency situations. This profession is dangerous, it requires serious training, devotion to their work and comrades. OMON soldiers often die while performing tasks. Some are awarded the title of Hero of Russia posthumously.

Those who have been to protest demonstrations or watched mass civil actions via the Internet may ask: “What are the riot police doing at protest actions? Are we talking about riots? The OMON fighter has a short answer to this question: "We are keeping order." When a lot of people get together, it is fraught with surprises - from accidents to provocations.

A fighter of the mobile detachment can be recognized by the large yellow inscription "OMON" on a spotted uniform and a black beret. During mass actions, the fighters wear special protective helmets, which is why they are also called "cosmonauts" and even "real astronauts." What real real astronauts think about it, we don't know.

OMON soldiers stand in a cordon, letting participants into the rally territory strictly through special "gates" with metal detectors. If a conflict situation is brewing, the fighters react quickly and harshly: wielding batons, they force the protesters out of the territory of the action, or vice versa, cut off the instigators, take them into the ring. They help colleagues from the operational detachment to carry out detentions.

According to participants in the events, it happens that a “conflict situation” arises precisely as a result of the actions of the police themselves. Therefore, the attitude towards riot police in society is ambiguous.

Of course, in order to do this kind of work, a fighter must be sure that the truth is on his side. Otherwise, he will feel like an enemy of his own people.

Riot police work in shifts. They devote a lot of time to physical training and tactical training.
Since 2002, on October 3, OMON officers have been celebrating their professional holiday.
