Anatoly Vyborny, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, a deputy from the Southern Federal District, has submitted to parliament a bill in which he proposes to give employees of transport security units the right to use electric shock devices.
"Currently, employees who ensure security in the subway, at train stations and at airports have the right to carry official firearms, but are strictly limited in their use (because they cannot be used in places of mass stay of people). By adopting this law, we will try to correct the situation and not only give more confidence to the security services, but also increase the overall level of security at transport infrastructure facilities," Anatoly Borisovich emphasizes.
Recall that in 2017, employees of transport security units seized 247 firearms, 56,500 ammunition and 32 kilograms of explosives. And they did it, being virtually unarmed themselves.
This bill has already received a positive opinion from the Federal Government.

"He (an employee of the Transport security Unit (PTB) - approx.) presses the alarm button and immediately neutralizes the offender with a stun gun for 10-20 minutes before the arrival of law enforcement officers. This is the algorithm of actions that will be in case of adoption of this legislative initiative," the deputy said.
Currently, PTB employees have the right to use service firearms. "But the use of civilian self-defense weapons with a mass stay of people, they do not have such an opportunity, since the use of service weapons is limited by law in places of mass stay of people. And they don't actually have any other weapons," said Vyborny.
The document notes that now the ESH can be used by guards of private security companies, employees of non-departmental security, bailiffs, employees of federal postal communication organizations, officials of specially authorized state bodies for the protection, supervision and regulation of the use of wildlife and their habitat, police officers, military personnel (employees) of the National Guard of the Russian Federation and other people.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to develop and submit proposals to the government by mid-April on the phased equipping of employees of coordination departments and departments of internal affairs with tasers. At the same time, the Ministry must determine the strict procedure and conditions for their application.
Today, law enforcement forces in many countries of the world actively use stun guns to suppress armed resistance, neutralize a suspect, in the event that the forces are not equal. As a rule, when using this special remedy, a person has a convulsive muscle contraction, he begins to settle, disorientation occurs. Sometimes there is a loss of consciousness.
In addition, the police will be equipped with mobile phones and tablets. Thus, the Head of state instructed the Ministries of Internal Affairs and Finance to ensure the phased equipping of employees of internal affairs departments, and, first of all, prevention inspectors and operatives with official mobile phones and tablets.
All these devices must be equipped with special software and access to databases of electronic information systems of internal affairs bodies.

A bill has been submitted to the State Duma allowing employees of transport security units to use stun guns (ESU), Interfax reports.
Transport security units work in crowded areas, therefore the use of firearms by their employees is prohibited. The authors of the initiative propose to consider the use of ESH as a weapon of active self-defense or a means to suppress acts of unlawful interference.
They draw attention to the fact that employees of a number of structures, including private security companies, private security, federal postal service and others already have the right to use the ESH.
Among the authors of the bill is the vice-chairman of the Duma Committee on Security and Anti-corruption, Anatoly Vyborny. He cited data on 467 acts of illegal interference at Russian transport infrastructure facilities in 2017.
As the deputy explained, "this figure includes the tragedy in the St. Petersburg metro."
Over the past year, employees of transport security units seized 247 firearms, 56.5 thousand ammunition and 32 kg of explosives.

Transport security officers will be adequately armed: a bill on this has been submitted to the State Duma, and the parliamentary majority is going to support the amendments.
The author of the bill was the representative of United Russia, Deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption Anatoly Vyborny. He proposed to give employees of transport security units (PTB) the right to use electric shock devices. This refers to those who ensure security at airports, train stations, in the subway, etc. Such a right has already been granted, including police officers, military personnel of the Russian Guard.
PTB employees now have the right to carry official firearms. However, its use by transport security units is strictly limited - such weapons cannot be used in places of mass residence of people, the deputy recalls.
At the same time, the threat is more than real, according to Vyborny. He cited statistics according to which, last year in Russia, 467 illegal actions were recorded at transport infrastructure facilities that threaten the safe operation of the transport complex and can cause harm to human life and health. This figure includes the tragedy in the St. Petersburg metro.
In addition, over the past year, PTB employees in Russia seized 247 firearms, 56.5 thousand ammunition and 32 kg of explosives. And often the PTB employees seize these weapons, being actually unarmed themselves.
The proposed bill proposes to correct the situation by giving PTB employees the right to carry and use electroshock devices. "I am convinced that expanding the arsenal of PTB defensive capabilities will not only give more confidence to those who serve in places of mass stay of people, but also generally increase the level of security at airports, in the subway and other transport infrastructure facilities," Anatoly Vyborny explained.
The day before, the bill received a positive opinion from the government of the Russian Federation and was approved at a meeting of the Coordinating Council of the United Russia Party faction.
"You know that airports and train stations in these difficult times are places of increased danger. They are being subjected to terrorist attacks, there are clashes between bandit groups," Andrei Isaev, the first deputy head of the faction, told reporters earlier after a meeting of the coordinating council headed by him.
According to him, it is extremely dangerous to use firearms in such areas, as these are places of mass gathering of people. As for tasers, these weapons "in this case will make non-departmental security personnel unarmed in the face of danger, but at the same time reduces the risks for other citizens who are in these crowded places."

Anatoly Vyborny, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, has introduced a bill that proposes to give employees of transport security units the right to use electric shock devices.
The day before, the bill received a positive opinion from the Government of the Russian Federation and was approved at a meeting of the Coordinating Council of the United Russia RUNWAY faction.
"Currently, employees of transport security units – that is, including those who ensure security at airports, train stations, and the subway - have the right to purchase, store, and carry official firearms. At the same time, the use of firearms by transport security units (PTB) is strictly limited – such weapons cannot be used in places of mass residence of people.
At the same time, the threat is more than real. Thus, according to statistics, in 2017, 467 acts of unlawful interference (ANV) were recorded at transport infrastructure facilities in Russia - that is, illegal actions, including terrorist acts, threatening the safe operation of the transport complex, and capable of causing harm to human life and health. This figure includes the tragedy in the St. Petersburg metro. In addition, over the past year, PTB employees in Russia seized 247 firearms, 56.5 thousand ammunition and 32 kg of explosives. And often, PTB employees seize these weapons, being themselves, in fact, unarmed.
The proposed bill proposes to correct the situation by giving PTB employees the right to carry and use electroshock devices.
This right has already been granted, among others, to police officers, military personnel of the Rosgvardiya, employees of federal postal service organizations and officials of specially authorized state bodies for the protection, supervision and regulation of the use of wildlife and their habitat. In addition, Russian citizens and foreign citizens do not need to obtain a license to purchase this type of civilian self-defense weapon.
I am convinced that expanding the arsenal of PTB defensive capabilities will not only give more confidence to those who serve in places of mass stay of people, but also, in general, increase the level of security at airports, in the subway and other transport infrastructure facilities," Anatoly Vyborny said.
