Summary/Abstract: Many people can see a very deep meaning in their work, connected with helping others. A sense of fulfillment, satisfaction that what they do makes the lives of others happy, gives them a chance to live a normal life, becomes the driving force behind many activities. However, in many cases, professional work is the cause of serious burdens and creates a lot of stress and problems. The nature of the work performed is one of the most important factors determining the degree of risk of occupational burnout, affecting individual and public safety. Working in constant, contact with people, as in the uniformed services, is often characterized by a high degree of emotional involvement. If we add to this the impact of stress and the need to deal with unrealistic expectations of the environment, we can confidently assume that the uniformed services group, is a high-risk group whose condition affects the level of national security. Personal observations and experiences led the authors to develop an article, the main purpose of which is to analyze, present and study the process of professional burnout among employees of the uniformed services and to find possible instruments to counteract this process.
