The research paper contains key findings of the random monitoring survey of the Ukrainian students covering the period 2002-2017, in the course of which it was explored the attitude of young people to the problems of crime and the police's activities aimed at counteracting it in the city (Kyiv). The analysis of the survey findings allowed to identify the level of students' fear to become victims of certain types of crime, a degree of their victimization in general and their fear to suffer from particular crimes, their assessments of the character of crime dynamics in the city and the police's activities, to learn the opinions on the situation with personal security at a given time and in future. Among the trends identified in the course of the research are a high level of the respondents' fear to become a victim of violent and most spread minor offences; high level of their victimization that distinctly decreased in recent years; prevailing negative assessments of the crime dynamics, assessment of the police's activities and trust to it as unsatisfactory irrespective of the improvements in these indicators in the recent three years, prevailing negative assessment of the situation with personal security and positive expectations in relation to the changes in future.

“…The efficiency of the official activities of the Ukrainian National Police officers is determined by their level of professional skills and competencies (Bondarenko, 2018;Ostapovich, et al, 2020;Shvets, et al, 2020;Valieiev, Tohochynskyi, Pekarchuk, Sobakar, &Iermakov, 2019). From the didactic perspective, the process of preparing future specialists for the effective performance of their professional activities is considered by scientists as a gradual and consistent transition from theoretical knowledge and understanding of basic laws, rules, and conditions of activity to the formation of appropriate abilities and skills (Yavorska, &Rudnytskyi, 2013).…”

The regulatory documents and scientific literature, which highlights the specifics of the study of the future officers of the Ukrainian National Police, were investigated. The analysis of the activity of police officers, who had to deal with armed and aggressive offenders, was analyzed. The conducted research substantiated the original methodology of the preparation of future police officers for contact with an offender, armed with a cold weapon, and tested its efficiency. The essence of the original methodology is to form the future police officers' professionally significant skills and competencies to apply coercive measures on the basis of the acquired special theoretical knowledge, introduced into the educational process of tactical and special training of simulated situational tasks and to develop professionally important psychological qualities. The study involved cadets, having entered educational institutions in 2016 (n=227), who were studying at the National Academy of Internal Affairs (Kyiv, Ukraine). The experimental (EG, n=111) and control (CG, n=116) groups were formed. The efficiency of the original methodology was evaluated by the indicators of theoretical and practical readiness of cadets and by the psychological qualities' development level. The results of the experiment showed the efficiency of the original methodology in comparison to the traditional one: theoretical preparedness of the EG cadets was improved by 46.8%, CG -by 2.4%; practical readiness of the EG cadets was increased by 37.3%, CG -by 5.1%. The high level of cadets' professionally significant skills acquired during studying contributed to the improvement of the efficiency of their future professional activity.

“…Awareness of their own professional identity is a guarantee of effective activities and harmony of the personality of a specialist (Anderson et al, 2002;Reay et al, 2017;Valieiev, Tohochynskyi et al, 2019) The development of identity, including the professional identity of a specialist, in conditions of society's transformation requires special attention of researchers to optimize professional self-determination. The activities of the patrol police have not become an exception in the context of social changes in Ukraine; due to this, the problem of studying the professional identity of future police officers has become rather urgent.…”

In this paper, attention has been paid to the study of the psychological experiences associated with the future of the patrol police in Ukraine, a significant percentage of whom had no prior experience in law enforcement activities. The purpose of the research is to study the different types of behaviour in the professional environment and identify the experiences associated with the work of the police both at the initial professional training stage (students) and following two years of work (patrol police officers). As a psychodiagnostic tool, the "Occupational Stress and Coping Inventory" was used. The research involved a total of 604 police officers, consisting of 354 people in the first group at the initial professional training stage (students), and 250 people in the second group following two years of work experience (police officers). The results of the study suggest differences in the indicators related to the experience of future police patrol officers and those already working. We have identified dominant spheres of personality and types of behaviour of police officers. The results obtained update the development of pedagogical technologies in order to optimize the development of the professional identity of the police officers at each of the stages of their professionalization.
