The research was conducted in several stages during 2022-2023. The first stage involved a survey of police units personnel (n = 562) to identify “successful” managers; the second stage provided for the determination of the professionally important psychological qualities of successful managers of police organizations (n = 74) using a set of psychodiagnostic methods; the third stage made provisions for correlation analysis between the professionally important psychological qualities of successful managers. The following methods were used during the research: theoretical methods – analysis, synthesis, and generalization of scientific literature; empirical and psychodiagnostic methods – included a survey of police units personnel; methods of mathematical and statistical data processing. It was found that successful managers show high levels of working capacity, stress resistance, sociability, and proactive attitude. They are characterized by a sthenic type of reaction, pronounced motivation for personal achievement, and high levels of flexibility of thinking and creativity.
