<br/><br/> The Police job, across the ranks and file is one of the most challenging and stressful occupations around the world. The stress and challenges have multiplied manifold for the Police officers due to the technological advancements, advanced crime techniques, well equipped criminals, non-habitual offenders, internal systems and processes, constant public and media scrutiny, negative feedback from several sources, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic that has literally engulfed the entire world. These stressors leave a significant negative impact on the physiological, and psychological health of Police officers resulting into consequences, sometimes which are detrimental not only for themselves, but for the Police force, and the society as well. The paper, through extensive yet scientific review of literature attempts to focus on an extremely narrow outcome viz the behavioural outcomes of the Police officers and the factors that may be the probable cause influencing such outcomes. The study is unique as exclusive studies on behavioural outcomes have not been conducted, so far. Yet from amongst the available literature in which such outcomes find some mention, it can be concluded that a cumulative effect of several factors contributes to the negative behavioural outcomes of the Police personnel. – Reproduced <br/>https://bprd.nic.in/WriteReadData/userfiles/file/202309260501129197672April-June,2022(F).pdf<br/>
