Abstract
On the basis of a comparative analysis, the influence of the length of service of employees of the Department of Internal Affairs (groups of employees with service experience up to 1 year, from 1 year to 5 years and over 5 years) on the dynamics of their stress resistance, strong-willed qualities and the coping strategies used by them is studied. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, it is concluded that the growth of stress resistance and the development of strong-willed qualities of police officers as their service experience increases with more frequent use of active adaptive coping strategies in their behavior. There are some signs of professional deformity in employees of the Department of Internal Affairs with more than 5 years of service experience compared to other employees, which is expressed in more frequent aggressive and impulsive behavior in stressful situations compared to employees with less service experience.
