Abstract
Existing scientific approaches to the issue of personal change are interdisciplinary in their nature. The problem of studying personal changes as a result of the transformation of personality traits under the influence of various objective and subjective challenges has both theoretical and practical aspects. The article summarizes the current views of scholars on the features of personal changes in the process of professional self-realization. The purpose of the study is to determine the types of personal transformations of a law enforcement officer in the process of professional self-realization. The author considers the content of the components that are transformed in the process of professional self-realization of law enforcement officers, namely: personal, activity and social. The study reveals the possibility of the existence of three types of law enforcement officers with different strategies of personal transformation. The author provides a substantive characterization of the personality types of law enforcement officers with positive, stable and negative strategies of personal transformation. Within each of these types, variants are possible depending on the indicators of the components that are transformed in the process of professional career development. It is concluded that for each of the types of personality of law enforcement officers it is necessary to develop areas of psychological support. It is proposed to use the possibilities of innovative teaching technologies, in particular trainings and quests. These technologies contribute to the formation the professional competence of police officers, to activate the motivational focus on positive personal changes, for the purposeful development of professional and personal qualities and the desire for continuous professional self-development and improvement.
