Abstract. The article presents a theoretical model of the professional development of a transport security employee’s personality who performs screening, additional screening, and secondary screening for the purpose of ensuring transport security. The model reflects three consecutive stages of personal formation in professional activity: professional training, professional adaptation and development, professional implementation and potential decline. Each stage is described through a set of behavioral characteristics formed in the course of performing official duties. The model is based on empirical observation and relies on regulatory requirements and the professional standard. The results make it possible to trace the dynamics of forming and developing professionally important personal qualities and to use the model for the analysis and improvement of the training system for transport security personnel.

Keywords: professional development of personality, transport security, screening officer, professionally important qualities, stages of professional development, participant observation, professional adaptation, personal qualities, model of professional development.
