Abstract :

 Police job or work is considered as one of the most stressful and dangerous occupations because of exposure to violence, confrontation and a variety of traumatic incidents. The incidence rate of heart diseases is higher in police than the general public as occupational stress is a major contributing factor. A non–experimental cross sectional survey was adopted to elucidate the relationship between age, years of experience with the stress levels of police personnel of the Chennai Police Commissionerate. A sample size of 1069 male police officers was chosen by convenience sampling method. The finding of the study strongly indicate that age and length of police service contributes significantly to the stress of police personnel.
