Objective: to study the social portrait of a police officer at the present stage, their attitude to work (promotion, labor intensity, psychological atmosphere), family, marriage, financial status, recreation, and retirement.
Methods: dialectic approach to cognition of social phenomena allowing to analyze them in their historical development and functioning in the context of a set of objective and subjective factors, which determined the choice of the following research methods: formal-logical, comparative-legal, sociological.
Results: the paper analyzes the social profile of police officers, their views on the future, family, and career. Special attention is paid to the problems of police officers in the service and at home – bureaucracy in the workplace, financial difficulties, situation with housing, attitude to family and marriage. The positive and negative coefficients of police officers’ agreement with the proposed questions are analyzed. The questions with maximum coefficient of agreement were: a) the monetary allowance of employees is the main means of their material provision; b) the life and health of a police officer is insured

The questions with maximum coefficient of disagreement included the following: a) neighbors are alert when communicating with family members of a police officer; b) I am completely satisfied with the amount of bonuses to the official salary for performing complex tasks; c) a police officer is forced to be friends only with other police officers.

As positive aspects of their work, the police officers note the high level of professionalism of the team, long vacation, and early retirement. However, there are a number of problems that need to be addressed. These include an excessive amount of paperwork, high stress levels, and financial problems.
