Abstract—Facebook utilization and conduct within the digital sphere among law enforcement personnel were systematically assessed against predetermined criteria, juxtaposed with metrics indicative od narcissistic predispositions. When designing the research, police officers involved were stratified into cohorts according to their birth years: young millennials, encompassing those born between 1991 and 2000, and older millennials, representing individuals born between 1977 and 1990. The purpose of the present research is to assess the attitudes of 56 police officers toward their work by examining their online behavior, and it involves a cohort of 56 officers/users of Facebook. Consequently, with a significance level (sig) of 0.06 falling below the predetermined alpha value of 0.05, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected as a consequence of the research analysis. Consequently, the variance observed in narcissistic inclinations between the young and older millennial groups surpasses disparities in their Facebook usage behaviors. Furthermore, the individual levels of narcissism, sensation-seeking tendencies, and self-esteem within each cohort exhibited a direct correlation with their respective online behaviors.
Keywords— Millennial, facebook user, online behavior, narcissism, self-esteem police officers.
