The health status was assessed by body mass index, Robinson index, and vital index.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Results: It was found that the body mass index of law enforcement officers for one year of service in practical units deteriorated in both men and women by 1.3 kg/m2 and 0.9 kg/m2, respectively. More negative changes were observed in men. At the same time, after one year of service, the number of men with overweight (27.5 %) and even obesity of the first (13.9 %) and second (5.2 %) degrees increased significantly. In women, the changes were less pronounced. The dynamics of Robinson and vital indices, as well as the level of physical fitness, were also negative.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>Conclusions: The results of the research indicate a negative impact of professional factors in terms of professional activities on the health of law enforcement officers.
