Abstract
In order to identify the characteristics of the mani festations of psychological maladjustment among law enforcement personnel with a variable length of service, 153 persons were surveyed. Marked changes are founded in the staff with professional experience less than 5 and more than 15 years. Among employees with experience less than 5 years, every tenth person has the signs of mental maladjustment such as high anxiety, sleep disturbances, decreased motivation to work, low tolerance to unfavorable vocational factors. At the experience of over 15 years, every seventh employee has psychological maladjustment in the form of low neuro psychological stability, professional burnout syndrome, a high level of personal anxiety, and difficulties in relationships with others. Approaches to improve psychological support of law enforcement officers are suggested considering their professional experience.
