The Educational and Research Institute of Postgraduate Education at the National Academy of Internal Affairs hosted a joint training session on first aid for students—officers of the educational security service.

The event was conducted by representatives of the Department of Criminalistics and Forensic Medicine at the National Academy of Internal Affairs in collaboration with the Academy’s Training Division for First Aid.

Instructors Volodymyr Kodiy, Yaroslav Sharkiy, and Maksym Valevatyy led the practical portion of the session.

During the session, the students reviewed modern protocols for providing first aid in emergency situations and honed their skills in conducting an initial assessment of a victim’s condition, ensuring airway patency, performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and stopping life-threatening bleeding.

They practiced scenarios that closely mirrored the real-world conditions faced by educational security officers in their professional duties. After all, it is these officers who ensure a safe educational environment on a daily basis, interact with participants in the educational process, and are often the first to respond to incidents that pose a threat to the lives and health of children, educators, and other participants in the educational process.

Under martial law, proficiency in first aid is a crucial component of the professional training for educational security officers. Timely and correct actions in the first minutes following an emergency can be decisive in saving the lives and health of those affected.

Conducting paired training sessions with practicing specialists helps combine theoretical training with practical experience, develop strong professional competencies, and enhance trainees’ readiness to respond effectively in crisis situations.
