Dual education at the Law Enforcement Academy: a combination of theory and practice

Within the framework of educational programs at the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a dual education system aimed at practically oriented training of future prosecutors and investigators has been fully implemented.

Based on this system, the professional practice of graduating students of the bachelor's degree program "Investigative Activities" is organized at their future workplaces. Under the guidance of the academy's professors and teachers, students in the regions of the country are assigned to investigative units of internal affairs bodies and the prosecutor's office and study directly in the context of their official activities.

Such a format allows students to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired at the Academy in practice, develop professional skills, and ensure a close connection between the educational process and investigative practice.

The Academy's faculty is actively participating in the implementation of the dual education model: they are assigned to regional bodies and conduct classes in cooperation with practicing staff, give practical assignments to students, and evaluate their results.

In the process of dual education, special attention is paid to the formation of students' skills in the timely detection and disclosure of crimes, as well as the mastery of modern methods and means of investigative activity. Within the framework of the classes, students, as part of investigative and operational groups, improve their skills in visiting the scene, inspecting the incident, performing procedural actions, and independently preparing draft procedural documents.

This form of dual education serves to increase the level of professional training and initiative of students, their quick adaptation to future service activities, and the formation of practical competencies necessary for effective work in the law enforcement system.
