Relevance. Due to the peculiarities of professional activity, the COVID-19 pandemic for police officers was associated not only with a high risk of infection, but also pronounced mental stress and emotional destabilization, with higher risk of developing severe psychological consequences. In police officers, incidence of a new coronavirus infection, according to departmental statistics, was 6.6 times higher than in general population and close to that of healthcare workers of the Ministry of Health of Russia. High risk of COVID-19 infection in police officers during performance of their duties contributes to the symptoms of psychoemotional maladjustment and a constant state of chronic tension and emotional stress. Identification of the causes of professional maladjustment is important for justification of preventive measures and search for markers of professional success in employees of internal affairs bodies.Intention.

В настоящее время авторитет сотрудников органов внутренних дел в обществе невысок. В связи с этим существует реальная потребность в исследовании путей создания положительного образа правоохранителей. В статье уделено внимание исследованию психологических особенностей, влияющих на формирование социально одобряемого образа сотрудников полиции. В ходе исследования были использованы такие методы, как контент-анализ сообщений со средств массовой информации, сравнительный анализ наработок по изучаемой проблеме, групповые беседы, анкетирование, психодиагностическое исследование курсантов и слушателей. Важным аспектом формирования положительного имиджа сотрудников органов внутренних дел является изучение их мотивационно-ценностной сферы. Именно положительная профессиональная направленность и мотивация профессиональной деятельности будут способствовать развитию всех необходимых качеств, отображенных в профессиограмме правоохранителей. Внутренняя мотивация определяет желание самосовершенствоваться, стремление к личностному и профессиональному развитию, предполагает высокую нравственность и законопослушность, а это, в свою очередь, непосредственно отражается на внешне воспринимаемом облике стражей закона. Также на основе результатов исследования разработаны предложения по формированию положительного имиджа сотрудников полиции, касающиеся работы с кадровым потенциалом. Currently, the public does not appreciate the image of employees of internal affairs agencies. In this regard, there is a real need to study ways of creating a positive image of law enforcement officials. The article focuses on the study of psychological features affecting the formation of a socially approved image of police officers. In the course of the study such methods as content analysis of messages from the media, a comparative analysis of developments on the problem under consideration, group conversations, questionnaires, and psychodiagnostic research of cadets and students were used. An important aspect of the formation of a positive image of employees of internal affairs agencies is the study of their motivational and semantic sphere. It is a positive professional orientation and motivation of professional activity that will contribute to the development of all the necessary qualities displayed in the law enforcement professiogram. Intrinsic motivation determines the desire for self-improvement, the desire for personal and professional development, involves high morality and law-abidingness, and this, in turn, is directly reflected in the outwardly perceived guards of the law. In addition, based on the results of the study, proposals to create a positive image of police officers regarding work with human resources were developed.

Different approaches to understanding occupational reflections were listed. Within the scope of this study, the authors share the view that occupational reflection is one of the structural components of the I-concept of an investigative officer. To comprehensively study the stated topic, the auhors addressed the types of problems faced by an investigative officer, and defined the contribution of occupational reflection to the proper fulfillment of duties. The aim of the study is to empirically identify the revelation of features of parameters of occupational reflection of police officers. The author summarises the results of an empirical study in a sample of students in an educational organisation of the Russian Mi nistry of Internal Affairs system. The occupational reflection technique (V.D. Shadrikov, S.S. Kurginyan) was employed. Mann-Whitney non-parametric U-test methods were used to process the results and analyse them statistically, using SPSS for Windows v.19. Male fifth-year students have been proven to lack the skills responsible for defining motives and objectives of professional activity. The range of significance of the overall level of reflexivity in both groups falls short of the norm. The results of the research will be used for the development of the author’s programme for the development of police officers’ performance reflection as well as for the comprehensive study of the image of the profession in the structure of the I-concept of the investigators of the Russian MIA system.
