The author has studied the peculiarities of academic motivation of final-year cadets (n=323) of higher education institutions with specific educational conditions. It has been determined that the dominant motivation for their professional training is internal motivation. They make independent decisions about their professional activities and seek to continue their service within the National Police. Adequate and situational types of professional motivation are typical for cadets. Respondents are aiming for theoretical knowledge. The motives for the professional activities of final-year cadets do not affect their motivation to acquire theoretical knowledge, but they affect the acquisition of professional skills and abilities. The “romantic halo” of the profession remains in the perception of the profession by final-year cadets, but the material component also becomes important. The status of the profession in society and its material remuneration, as well as the curiosity of the chosen profession have significant influence on the motivation of future professional activities of fourth-year cadets. The motivating factor for internally motivated cadets is a sense of effectiveness, as well as status and state’s high salary for labor of law enforcement professionals. Externally positively motivated cadets in case of the decrease in the status of the profession, unrealized career ambitions or the reduction of the material rewards of law enforcement officers may begin to perform their duties formally or may leave the service. Externally negatively motivated cadets are not interested in performing professional duties. On the basis of the obtained data, the author has concluded on the importance of mentoring in the process of professional development of young specialists and the continuation of professional training in the system of postgraduate education and service training of police officers. The author has emphasized the importance of further motivation of final-year cadets within professional activity, in particular the introduction of a “motivational” package for police officers by the state.

One of the most important indicators of professional self-realization is success in professional activities. It is difficult to define this concept, especially in relation to the professional activity of a female police officer. Her success is evaluated from different angles: society as a whole, the team with which there is interaction during the performance of professional duties, the leadership of the organization, the family. The success of professional achievements is assessed by the woman herself, first of all, it concerns the possibility of revealing her potential and its maximum realization in the professional sphere. The article is devoted to the definition of areas of psychological support for the professional activities of women police officers, aimed at promoting their successful self-realization. Various indicators of professional success are analyzed. The factors that cause the gradual accumulation of changes in the structure of professional activity and personal characteristics, which negatively affect productivity and interaction with other participants in the work process, are identified. The model of psychological support of professional activity of women police officers in the set of the following blocks is substantiated: diagnostic; psychological and pedagogical; socio-psychological; psychocorrectional. To realize their potential and succeed in any field of professional activity, women police officers must be able to gain social approval and professional status in accordance with their efforts, material security, gain a sense of self-importance and self-esteem, and maintain the commitment of their loved ones and family members. while remaining himself, without distorting his “I” and without destroying his personality. This necessitates psychological support of women’s professional activity in the National Police of Ukraine, which is aimed at solving individual and personal problems and supporting the personality of the specialist at all stages of professional self-determination.
