Aim:
The aim is to investigate the peculiarities of the manifestation of psychological trauma symptoms in police officers–combatants depending on their individual psychological features.

Material and methods:
The research, conducted in 2023-2024, involved 138 police officers–combatants (men) with different types of temperament: choleric (Group C, n = 38), sanguine (Group S, n = 34), phlegmatic (Group P, n = 35) and melancholic (Group M, n = 31). Research methods: bibliosemantic, systematic analysis and generalization, survey, statistical

Results:
The main individual psychological features that are factors in the occurrence of psychological trauma in police officers–combatants have been identified: temperament, character, and personality orientation. It has been established that the most common symptoms of psychological trauma in combatants, regardless of the kind of temperament, are gloomy mood, dissatisfaction with oneself and others, increased aggressiveness, fear, anxiety, sleep problems, and cognitive impairment. At the same time, choleric and melancholic combatants show symptoms of psychological trauma more often than sanguine and phlegmatic individuals.

Conclusions:
The research shows that police officers–combatants with choleric and melancholic temperament types are more likely to be traumatized than sanguine and phlegmatic police officers. The findings should be taken into account when planning psychological rehabilitation measures for police officers with signs of combat trauma.
