The Research Purpose is to determine the informative significance of the moral and psychological qualities of the personality of law enforcement officers and the main components of the physical fitness of their formation for the effective training of specialists in higher education institutions of the National Guard of Ukraine for their efficient occupation. Methods of the Research – The NGU servicemen (n=168) were interviewed. The Spearman`s rank-order correlation of indicators was conducted. The reliability of the differences between the average values of two samples depending on the length of service was calculated. The Results of the Research. For the successful performance of the NGU officers` professional duties, motivation is of the greatest importance; self-control and the ability to learn new knowledge and skills are also considered significant. The opinions of NGU cadets about the importance of the moral and psychological qualities of the individual for their successful performance of professional duties differ significantly from the opinions of senior officers in most indicators. Five moral and psychological qualities of the individual (ability to endure long-term varied physical exertion, ability to get new knowledge and skills, to work in a group, to make necessary decisions, self-control have demonstrated five or more coefficients of moderate and close correlation with physical qualities. The largest number of close and moderate correlation coefficients of moral and psychological personal qualities was observed with indicators of dexterity: motor coordination, static and dynamic balance. Findings. Among the moral and psychological qualities of the personality, junior officers of NGU underestimate the importance of their number of indicators. First of all, such moral and psychological qualities of an individual as the ability to work in a group, the ability to make necessary decisions, the ability to endure long-term, varied physical exertion, as well as self-control and the ability to get new knowledge and skills which can be formed by means of physical training.
