The purpose of the article is to determine the theoretical foundations of the rational decision-making process in the professional activities of law enforcement authorities. The methodological basis of the study is the general theory of decision-making, based on differentiation and integration of the axiomatic theory of utility and maximization of the rationality of scientific heuristics for decision-making process. The scientific novelty of the article is to highlight the basic concepts of behavior in decision-making process with various types of explanations of factors and mechanisms of behavior of law enforcement officers. Factors and mechanisms of group decision-making are analyzed in order to optimally rationalize it and overcome uncertainty. It has been proven that a rational decision-making process based on group dynamics is effective in reducing risk and decrease the number of errors in the professional activities of law enforcement officers. The conclusions of the article are to substantiate the effectiveness of decision-making process based on team and individual approaches in the professional activities of law enforcement officers. The article describes the starting point of decision-making in complex, time-limited, uncertain, ambiguous and changing situations faced by law enforcement officers in the course of their professional activities. It has been proven that a team approach reduces the risk that a decision may lead to undesirable consequences. Cognitive distortions of "mind traps" (heuristics) are described, which force to deviate from optimal strategies in decision-making due to subjective inferences. The role of an authority person (group leader) and professional experience in the rational decision-making process in the team, as well as the role of the team itself as a resource for decision-making process is the main.

TopicalityIt is argued that the information revolution is exacerbating societal imbalances, such as racial, class and gender inequality, and creating a new digital divide in which those with the skills and abilities to use information technology effectively benefit and others remain beyond further development. . Computer ethics studies how the design of information technology and this implementation in society can increase inequality, and how ethical policies can be developed that will lead to a fairer distribution of strengths and weaknesses. The purpose of the article is to develop and expand previous works in the field of studying the information society and global problems of today, to shed light on the philosophical or perhaps sophistic question of the information society, to consider the dynamics of the information society and the moment when the industrial society becomes informational and how this poses a new discourse to the global problems of our time. Methodology and theoretical basis of the study is the analysis of concepts of the information society, the development of global informatization in public discourse, generalization of the work of leading scientists who have empirically researched and highlighted recent developments in this topic. The scientific novelty is that the latest dynamic changes in society pose daily challenges to modern humanity, in this article we will consider the thesis of the information society from new perspectives to explain technological changes and social consequences of globalization that have led to new theoretical views on technology and society. The results obtained and the main conclusions are that the information society emerges when more than half of the nation's workforce can be called information workers, and this has already been achieved in many Western countries. In recent years, critics and supporters of the information society have shifted theory and research from social theory at the macro level to more empirical studies of many assumptions. Research has become more focused on the social formation of technologies and their consequences, the role of information and computer technology and related factors and new paradigm patterns. Practical significance Study includes an ethical analysis of global paradigms imposed by supranational structures to create a new global ideology of consumption. In the modern information society there are serious contradictions in obtaining, selecting, interpreting, composing, producing and disseminating information to influence the formation of public consciousness and culture, to encourage public actors (politics, economics, spiritual sphere) to programmed or spontaneous actions in a given direction.

The relevance of the study is due to the need to form practical skills in decision-making and determine the main determinants of the ability to quickly adapt to rapid changes, generate rational ideas and make logical decisions in the professional activity of law enforcement officers. The purpose of the article is to expand the concept, analyze and empirically investigate the importance of the phenomenon of tolerance to ambiguity in the system of decision-making in the professional activity of law enforcement officers. The methodology of problem analysis was formed by the general theory of tolerance to ambiguity, which is based on both differentiation and integration of existing knowledge in various fields. Research results. An analysis of decision-making and overcoming uncertainty, unstructuredness, which manifests itself in life and professional situations, is carried out. The role of rigidity in the system of intolerance is substantiated and the role of this concept in the process of learning metacognitive skills is defined. The phenomenon of tolerance to ambiguity and the importance of lability and flexibility in the decision-making system are described. The concept of tolerance depends on the perspectives related to the cultural context and is formed on them, indicates how individuals relate to the near or distant future, and has the properties of emergency, which will play a special role in the practical processing of new conditions in which law enforcement officers are forced to act , migration and cross-cultural changes occurring within the country and a high load of social interaction. The extent to which these factors are important for building a new adaptation scenario for representatives of specific types of activity has been analyzed and empirically investigated. Badner's uncertainty tolerance questionnaire was tested and presented. The scientific novelty of the article consists in the systematization and generalization of psychological approaches in the general structure of decision-making through ambiguity tolerance, which actively participates in dynamic processes related to overcoming or generating uncertainty (primarily at the cognitive level) by changing existing ideas and concepts, and also by creating new ones. The practical significance is presented in the elaboration of the model of the phenomenon of tolerance to ambiguity, which allows differentiation of individuals-law enforcement officers with their ability to accept uncertainty; disclosure of coping mechanisms; description of possible means of developing tolerance to ambiguity and research and expansion of previous work in the field of decision-making and the role of the factor of tolerance to ambiguity in the specific conditions of the professional activity of law enforcement officers and the importance of developing this feature in the decision-making system.
