Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate anxiety as a status quo, either as a personality trait, a level of stress, and how to deal with it in Criminal Police and Prevention and Traffic. Assumptions about the purpose of the study indicated a higher level of anxiety and stress in Criminal Police officers. These hypotheses were based on the character of uniform work of a given Branch. The nature of this specialization is influenced by the environmental conditions of work, the dynamics of change, the presence of criminogenic factors and the responsibility of the tasks aimed at combating crime. The greater the presence of risk factors, the better should be the countermeasures. These assumptions were confirmed because Criminal Police officers showed task-oriented problem-solving and tensions. This gives you the ability to be effective and effective in your occupation and prevent burnout.
