title: [Higher mental functions of the workers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under extreme professional activities].
abstract: Mental (cognitive) processes were analyzed in officers from different subdivisions of internal affairs bodies during their service. The study parameters were found to be in the normal range, but at the same time there were significant differences between occupational groups. The more the length of service was, the more verbal information was kept in mind in officers from criminal investigation and inquiry departments and district militia inspectors. With more service, there is an increase in mental fatigue and a reduction in the level of combinatorial analysis in all study groups. The findings enhance the capacities of solving the problems of occupational selection, staff arrangement, timely psychological correction and prevention of mental diseases.
