The use of physical force and fighting techniques by the police is one of the most important coercive measures in the modern world, characterized by growing criminal threats, socio-economic tensions and the need to ensure public order. High levels of crime, terrorist threats and other challenges pose a challenge to the police to ensure the safety and protection of citizens. The effective use of physical force is aimed at eliminating the threat, ensuring security and control over the enemy as soon as possible. First and foremost, it is important to have the ability to apply the technique correctly in a particular situation. This approach allows police officers and other professionals to effectively use physical force to achieve their tasks. Compliance with the criteria for the use of physical force by police officers is evaluative and is applied according to the police officer's internal conviction. In this case, the most important thing is to understand the criteria for timeliness and proportionality of the use of physical force.
