The article is devoted to the search for resources to restore the positive image of the representatives
of law enforcement forces. The objective of the article is to study the peculiarities of perception of
law enforcement officers by the most mobile part of the society – the youth. The study involved students of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs. The choice of this contingent for the study
is not accidental. This selection most closely interact with law enforcement agencies, it is familiar
with the peculiarities of their work, has established interpersonal relationships with law enforcement
officers and, as a rule, does not have unreasonable fears and reasons to distance itself from them. To
accomplish the study the authors used a modification of the semantic differential to evaluate the personal characteristics of law enforcement officers and the procedure of the color test of relationships.
The task of the students was to assess law enforcement officers as they are (real image) and as those
they should be for the successful execution of their duties (ideal image).
Conducted studies have shown that in the absence of an opportunity to observe certain features of
law enforcement officers the overall impression which has developed by a human being impacts on
their assessment. However, even if a person has a steady attitude to law enforcement officers, the
awareness of law enforcement tasks, forms and methods of its implementation leads to an adequate
assessment of professional skills of law enforcement officers.
Despite the general opinion that the developed professional skills contribute to a positive image of
the subject of labor, professionalism together with the low moral and low meaningfulness of being
for law enforcement officers are perceived as a threat. The ideal image of a law enforcement officer,
primarily, reflects the requirements of modern society to the humanization and psychologizing profession of a law enforcement officer. Based on the obtained results, the authors have suggested possible perspective areas of optimization of a police officer’s image.
