Method: A quantitative study cross-sectional and instrumental type design in a sample of 200 municipal police officers in Puerto Rico and analysis carried out to verify the factorial structure of the questionnaires and the reliability and validity indicators. Results: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis with Structural Equation Modeling showed adequate validity and reliability indicators in both PSQ-OP and the PSQ-ORG questionnaire Spanish adapted version with one-factor structure as in the original English version questionnaire. Conclusion: This study provides an instrument for professionals to study the operational and organizational stress in police officers and allows them to contribute new studies and literature in Puerto Rico.
