The study highlights possible differences between police officers who work in the office and those who work in the field, in terms of aggressive behavior perception. Method: Participants were 60 subjects, male and female police officers, age ranged from 25-50 years (M = 34.7;S.D.=5.6). The instrument: "Aggression Questionnaire". Results highlight that aggression is not statistically significant different at the police officers from office comparative with those from field work context (m1=40.73<42.60; p>0.05). This study shows that working as police officer, being exposed to aggressive stimuli there is no statistically difference between office and field place. (C) 2014 Mihai Anitei.
