In the article the problem of digital competence formation in the process of fire training is considered. In order to improve the training process for police officers, a new computer program has been developed that can be used with different categories of students in various forms of training: full-time, distance, and interactive. The Situation program proposed by the authors allows using distance learning tools in order to implement continuous training and maintain the level of readiness of ATS employees for effective operational and service activities. The program is used by students of educational organizations at the initial stage of training, in order to improve the skills of using firearms in various legally significant situations. Classes are conducted in the following modes: remotely or face-to-face. As a result, the motivation to achieve success increases, confidence increases; social responsibility, in particular, compliance with the law when making a decision about the use of firearms. The program consists of three modules: "Preparation", "photo Testing", and "Video testing". The student was offered theoretical materials necessary for making a decision about the use of firearms, testing on photos in a static image of a potential threat; testing on video fragments represents a complex of situations in which weapons are used.
