The article is devoted to the problems of studying and analyzing individual and personal psychological profiles of police officers, obtained on the basis of a long-term study using the Ukrainian-language psychodiagnostic technique «Mini-Mult» adapted by the authors, developed by I. Kincannon. The results presented in the article contain a description of various types of individual and personal profiles, which are characterized as favorable, less favorable and unfavorable for official activities in the system of the National Police of Ukraine depending on typological features, specifics of leading trends, properties of thinking, communication, type of reaction to stress, etc. Almost half of the described profiles have been found to be characteristic of successful police officers with a high level of psychological fitness for activity, the same proportion is characteristic of less successful police officers with an intermediate level of psychological fitness for activity, and only a small proportion – of unsuccessful police officers with a low level of readiness for official activity. It is shown that based on the results of this questionnaire, psychologists can reasonably draw conclusions about the degree of suitability of a person for professional activity, as well as about the appointment of police officers to positions and opportunities for individual and professional development
