The paper provides a deeper insight into the perception of stress in police ranks. Stress is perceived as any situation or stimulus that acts on the individual load and thus jeopardize its integrity. The research is focused only on those specific situations and stimuli that are specific for police practice, especially those stressors that the policemen face daily and which may endanger them. To manage this issue it is first necessary to determine which specific situations police officers perceive as the most burdensome. With this knowledge it is then possible to figure out how to minimize as much as possible the load in given situations. In the introduction the paper therefore briefly outlines the issue and focuses on the stressors specific to the police profession. The research then reveals which of normal police activities that police face daily are perceived as the most stressful.
