Description The aim of the study is to find out the various types of injuries in resolving physical conflict while using restraint devices. Methods The work is conceived as descriptive and qualitative – quantitative in nature. Results 21% of those surveyed did not encounter physical aggression. The rest of the respondents reported exp erience with physical aggression of the following frequency: 21.76% of respondents once a year, 19.08% of respondents once a month, 10.69% respondents once a week and 5.73% of respondents on a daily basis. The most commonly occurring injuries include bruis es, scratches and abrasions, luxation (shoulder, finger), fractures (nasal septum), lacerations (face). Despite not being serious in nature, these injuries hinder the smooth progress of the application of restraint devices as well as point to the need to increase the training of law enforcement officers.
