A number of well-known definitions of this term are analyzed, their content is revealed. Special emphasis is paid to the problem of forming the definition of "special technique". It is indicated that the absence in theory and practice of a unified understanding of the term "special means" has a negative effect both in educational activities when having the topic "Special means and personal body armor" and in the law enforcement activities of employees of the internal affairs agencies of the Russian Federation when they perform operational and service and service and combat missions. The author comes to the conclusion that the employees of the internal affairs agencies have at their disposal a wide range of special means, with the help of which they perform the assigned tasks. However, the current legislation regulating the use of special means by employees of the internal affairs agencies should be improved and updated taking into account the needs of society and the state. After all, competent and timely actions of police officers when they use special means can provide decent protection of public order and ensure public safety.
