Abstrakt: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of occupational subculture and the stressors involved in a pronounced occupational subculture. Policing is also known for its physical and mental stressors that are, arguably, more numerous than in other professions. The importance of the protective function of subculture needs to be taken into account when attempting to deal with police stress. This study describes the prevention and treatment programs that have unfortunately not been sufficiently utilized because of the police culture. The paper reviews the potential risks caused by the exclusion of police culture. It hypothesizes that those police officers who perceive themselves as 'out-group' (i.e. that they are not part of the subculture), would experience more occupational stress in comparison to those who perceive themselves as a part of the group (i.e. 'in-group').
