Background and Objectives: military police officers face stress related to increase in violence and devaluation of their profession, which can lead to burnout and compromised quality of life. This study aimed to analyze the association between burnout and quality of life in military police officers from two Brazilian corporations. Methods: this was a cross-sectional study of 773 military police officers, 506 (65.5%) from battalions of the Country Police Command - 5th Region in São Paulo state and 267 (34.5%) from 3rd Military Police Battalion in Paraná state. Data was collected between January and December 2018 using a questionnaire with sociodemographic and professional variables: the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), translated and adapted into Portuguese by Robayo-Tamayo; and the abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref). Results: police officers from São Paulo had significantly better levels of quality of life than police officers from Paraná. There was a predominance of a high level of depersonalization (21.3%) among police officers from Paraná; a medium level of depersonalization (33.9%) among police officers from São Paulo; a medium level of emotional exhaustion and a high level of personal accomplishment in both police forces. Conclusion: police officers with low levels of depersonalization and emotional exhaustion had a higher quality of life in the physical health, psychological health, social relationships, environmental health and overall quality of life domains, and police officers with higher levels of personal accomplishment had higher quality of life scores.
