For the analysis and discussion of the results of the results, the articles were distributed as follows: author/year, objectives, method, results and conclusion. Based on the analysis of the respective articles, data were extracted, which made it possible: to collect data in the national and international literature on burnout syndrome, depression and police victimization by suicide, to describe the prevalence of burnout syndrome in police officers, to assess whether Burnout worsens depressive conditions in police officers and to analyze whether the performance of Burnout syndrome in police officers increases the risk of victimization by suicide through the discussion of the results of this review.
