ON PREPARATION OF POLICE OFFICERS FOR THE IMPACT OF STRESSFUL SITUATIONS IN SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

Abstract

Police officers’ service in special conditions requires constant professional and physical training to cope with high stress situations and effectively perform service-professional tasks. In this regard, the task of the study is to investigate the impact of the developed training program for police officers on their physical and psychological well-being. The authors identify the main stress factors affecting the efficiency of performance of service-professional tasks by police officers. Positive changes in the training groups of police officers are revealed, indicating a decrease in the influence of stress factors of special conditions of service, a change in the attitude to various emergency situations, an increase in the level of physical and psychological preparedness. The obtained results indicate the need to improve the pedagogical support of the educational process of police officers being trained for service in special conditions.
