In this case, the activity of police officers is implied.

When carrying out the scientific work, such research methods as analysis of scientific and theoretical literature, observation and experiment were used. The test of V. G. Romek was also applied. Results of the work and scientific contribution. Based on the results of the scientific work, methods are identified to form the readiness of young police officers for risk: self-correction, which consists in concentrating on the current tactical tasks of a police officer, abstracting from negative scenarios of the consequences of their behavior; occupational therapy that supports the method of self-correction. Conclusions. The use of methods for forming the readiness of young police officers for risk makes it possible to significantly increase their confidence in their own knowledge, skills and abilities. Limitations/directions for future research. When implementing the presented methods of forming risk readiness, it is extremely important to take into account the personal characteristics of young police officers.
