The current change in lifestyle and the rapid development of the world has led to the rise in mental health issues and symptoms of mental health problems. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the respondents' perceptions and mental health differences in terms of gender and personal status as well as the relationship between social support and mental health. This study is a quantitative study that used questionnaires to obtain data. The sample consisted of 103 police officers in the training, management and administration and operations departments. Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS 21) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) were used as study instruments. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 18 and using descriptive statistics and inference statistics. The findings show that mental health conditions are affected by social support received.
