The article discusses the problems of psychological preparation by an investigator to carry out a search and seizure as independent investigative actions. A quick and complete investigation of crimes depends on the skills and abilities of the investigator when applying methods of lawful mental influence on the person being searched. Psychological problems, questions of organizing the conducting a search are the objects of the works of M.I. Enikeeva, N.P. Yablokova, V.A. Obraztsova, V.I. Popova, A.S. Knyazkova, R.L. Ahmedshina, T.V. Averyanova, R.S. Belkina, Yu. G. Korukhova, E.R. Rossinskaya, etc. The purpose of this article is to consider the psychological nature of the search, to reveal a specific series of circumstances. In legal literature, a search is understood to mean not only search coercive activity, but also the cognitive activity of the investigator. Peculiarities of the investigator's cognitive activity are expressed in the personal perception of the searched premises and the personality of the most searched in a conflict situation. It should be noted that at the time of the search, the constitutional rights of citizens to privacy and the right to privacy of housing are limited. Therefore, compliance by the investigator with the procedural order of the search and the rule of law ensures the effectiveness of this investigative action, which in turn guarantees the observance of the constitutional rights of citizens.

The article features of dynamics of post-traumatic symptoms and displays of personal desadaptation of the police officers who have carried out operational and service tasks in special conditions are considered. The empirical study involved 195 police officers aged from 26 to 32 years. Techniques: the standardized multifactorial method of research of the personality (L.N. Sobchik), the questionnaire of traumatic stress I.O. Kotenev. As a result of research it is established, that over time, changes of personal features, posttraumatic symptoms often proceed latently in the form of progredient (towards increase or decrease) or "wave-like" orientation (with alternation of periods of improvement and deterioration of a condition). Symptoms of "intrusion", "avoidance" and physiological hyperexcitability increase from the moment of performance of operational and service tasks in special conditions, and stabilize after three years. Neurotic control, pessimism and social introversion increase linearly. Optimism, distress and flashbacks of psychotraumatic events decrease progrediently. In the post-traumatic period from 1.5 to 3 years, the number of persons with signs of emotional lability, rigidity, non-productive tension and chronic fatigue grows. After 4 years, impulsiveness and aggravation increase, and the ability to withstand emotional stresses decreases. Practical recommendations for psychological rehabilitation of the specified negative manifestations are offered.
