The purpose of the study was to clarify the components of the professional competence of instructors in physical training and sports of law enforcement agencies. Materials and methods. Theoretical analysis and generalization of data of special scientific and methodical literature were used in the work, monitoring of information resources of the Internet was carried out. It is established that the current problems that need to be addressed are the lack of a system of centralized training of instructors in physical training and sports, imperfection of the system of implementation of scientific developments in the field of physical culture and sports in practical service and combat activities and failure to take into account the initial level of training of cadets. Results and discussion. The analysis of experience of armies of the leading countries of the world shows that one of characteristic aspects in the organization of preparation of experts in physical training and sports is a combination in performance of tasks of physical training and mass sports.

Promising areas for improving the professional training of instructors of physical training and sports are the use of distance, simulated learning, interactive, situational, game and project methods.
