Abstract: Military police activity is characterized by continuous exposure to risk situations, operational unpredictability, and high emotional demands, requiring the constant mobilization of neurobiological mechanisms related to adaptation and survival. Although essential for professional performance, these mechanisms may produce cumulative effects when repeatedly activated throughout a police officer’s career, contributing to a gradual process of neurobiological wear that often remains scarcely noticeable during years of service. This study aims to analyze the neurobiological impacts of chronic occupational stress on military police activity and to discuss human sustainability as a strategic element for functional longevity and the maintenance of the operational capacity of police organizations. This is a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study developed through an interdisciplinary literature review based on research on the neuroscience of stress, allostatic load, occupational health, and police activity. The findings indicate that factors such as persistent hypervigilance, sleep deprivation, frequent exposure to risk, and prolonged physiological hyperactivation may contribute to the progressive accumulation of neurobiological wear throughout the professional trajectory. It is concluded that preserving the physical, cognitive, and emotional health of police personnel extends beyond the individual sphere, constituting a relevant element for maintaining professional functionality, operational capacity, and the institutional sustainability of military police organizations.
