The stages of formation of professional preparedness of patrol and security police department employees are theoretically substantiated in the article. The patrol and security police department employees from Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions (n=92) took part in the investigation. The analysis of scientific literature and statutory documents regulating professional training of the National Police of Ukraine employees was carried out. The content of the "professional preparedness of the police officer" term was clarified. The stages of formation of professional preparedness of police employees, which include the stage of professional self-determination, professional formation and professional growth, were distinguished. Based on the conducted research, the noncompliance of the physical preparedness level of the patrol and security police employees with the crime situation requirements in the country was established.

The aim of the article was to evaluate the effectiveness of coaching technologies in training social workers to work with families that have children with special needs. The research involved the following methods: formative experiment, where the Professional Coaching technology is implemented as an influence; tests as tools to determine the level of theoretical knowledge, Job Satisfaction Test, Ontogenetic Reflection Self-Assessment Test; observation to determine the specialists’ communication skills level; statistical data processing. The research involved two samples - experimental and control, which included social workers. Social Competence Model in working with families that have children with special needs was developed, which consists of motivational-value, cognitive, communicative-activity and reflective criteria. The dominance of medium levels of social workers’ social competence in working with families that have children with special needs was found. The effectiveness of the developed coaching system is proved. It was found that the formative influence is more effective for the cognitive and reflexive criteria than for motivational-value and communicative-activity criteria. The obtained results can be guidelines for further improvement of the developed Professional Coaching system. Further research prospects involve studying the impact of coaching on the self-development of not only social workers but also other socionomy specialists.

The article deals with the problematic issues of professional training of law enforcement officers who would be able to ensure reliable protection of objects and security of individuals. The analysis of security guards’ professional requirements and features of their official activity has been carried out. The method of training of security guards has been developed on the basis of systematization of knowledge, skills taking into account various modules, modular blocks in a single complex that gives the chance to the future security guard to master knowledge consistently and to provide the whole process algorithmization. On the basis of the created technique the model of security guards’ training is developed in general. The main training modules and their modular blocks are: acquisition of knowledge on the main areas of ensuring the overall organization of objects protection, which minimizes and eliminates the impact of other threats that may interfere with the normal functioning of the object; ability to provide a description of the object by external and internal characteristics; possession of a modern set of engineering and technical means of protection, including: fire-fighting modular unit, infrastructure unit, alarm system protection unit, access control and management systems, reliable modular unit, etc. The main stage of law enforcement personnel training is a formation of abilities to use protective modules in the conditions of external and internal interventions, threats etc. Actions of unauthorized entry on the object have been defined. A method of detecting factual intrusion (attempt) into the area of the protected object is provided. Examples of psychotic behavior of the offender are considered in the training process. The table shows the potential ability of the offender to act depending on the motivation level of emotional preparedness that correlates with his/her actions. The positive influence of the proposed innovations on the level of theoretical and practical training of future security guards has been revealed. The experiment confirmed the effectiveness of security guards training method based on the modular design system of object protection.
