ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL OBSERVATION IN PROVIDING PERSONAL SAFETY OF STAFF OF STATE AUTOMATION INSPECTION
The article analyzes the role of professional observation in improving the efficiency of solving operational tasks by traffic police officers. A brief analysis of sources devoted to this professionally important quality of personality is given. The work of psychologists who examined the psychology of labor of employees of the internal affairs bodies is considered. The features of professional observability of the employee of the State traffic inspectorate are determined: the object of observation, observation conditions, the extreme nature of the activity. Professional observation plays an important role in reducing risk in solving operational tasks. By detecting subtle signs of inappropriate behavior of road users, the employee can anticipate the danger and minimize the consequences. To highlight situations of danger where a high level of professional observation is required, a system-situational analysis of activity is used. As a result, it was possible to collect data on the most frequently encountered danger situations in the activities of traffic police officers: interaction with a road user who is aggressive; interaction with a person in a state of alcohol / drug intoxication; interaction with road users and a partner in the proceedings of a traffic accident; interaction with a road user who hides significant information from the inspector; interaction with several road users (in case of mass crowds); interaction with the participant of the road traffic, in which there is a weapon. The article concludes that it is necessary to form professional observability taking into account these situations.
