Police Officers have been diagnosed with a variety of stress-related health disorders throughout the past three decades. Because of the stressful nature of their jobs, police officers are at an increased risk of developing a variety of environmental health concerns. The association between high-stress employment and environmental health has been extensively studied, but researchers have not yet done enough research into the relationship between police officers' job stress and their overall performance. The purpose of this study is to examines the links between police officers' stress and its related issues that’s come around. Therefore, by finding the factors affecting stress, this research seeks to identify intervention strategies, which can promote a healthy workforce and police performance. Such interventions, in addition, may improve police performance through improved well-being. In the context of hypothesis testing, this focuses on the nature of a certain group relationship or on the independence elements present in a situation. A statistical analysis has been performed to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the variables. A total of 108 respondents from the Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu District Police Headquarters were chosen using stratified random sampling amongst the officers of the force. According to the findings of the study, work- related concerns and social issues are the most significant and the important factors that contributing to stress among police officers in the Hulu Terengganu Police District Headquarters. Further research is recommended in various areas, including a realistic evaluation of what may be expected to benefit from the extension and further testing of the theory that has already been produced.
