The article presents the concept of extreme situation and the factors that characterize it. The content and principles of preparation of police officers for solving operational and service tasks in conditions related to extreme situations are considered. The need to improve the social behavior of police officers in the context of mass events of citizens in recent years has been growing steadily. This is due to the processes of transformation in the political, economic, social and spiritual life of people, which have a significant impact on the formation of civil society, ensuring the rights and freedoms of the population. As part of these processes, there are changes in the police, not least related to increasing the level of socio-psychological competence of police units, the formation of a positive image of the police officer in the eyes of the population. Not every personal problem, intrapersonal or interpersonal conflict, feelings of crisis inevitably lead to stress. Stress resistance is determined by a set of personality qualities that allow you to tolerate significant intellectual, volitional and emotional loads (mental stability); perform their professional tasks with good psychosomatic health; to have a stable worldview and to be a believer; perform a certain social role and have an appropriate level of culture of their society (psychological stability of the individual). Analysis of materials on the practice of law enforcement shows that in order to respond calmly and reasonably to the aggressive actions and abuse of the crowd and soberly take into account the situation, a police officer needs not only mental and physical effort, but also knowledge of human behavior in crowd, the mechanism of its formation and mode of action, the role of each type of participants in the riots, stereotypes of their actions in extreme conditions. Depends on ensuring their personal safety and the safety of citizens, as well as the success of a specific job. The essence of the psyche is reflection. The psyche is a subjective image of the objective world, an ideal (immaterial) reflection of reality. Psychological stability of employees of special divisions influences comprehensive and effective isclosure of crimes.
