Abstract: The current state and prospects for the development of the intersectoral institution ensuring personal security of individuals in the field of criminal justice were examined. Evidence was provided in favor of the idea that this protective structure is becoming increasingly oriented towards improving the effectiveness of criminal procedure actions in identifying and mitigating the post-offense unlawful impact on participants in criminal proceedings. Legal mechanisms for safeguarding personal security were considered as a specific order of functioning of the intersectoral system of legal, organizational, tactical, and operationalinvestigative measures and means, which are aimed at defending the life, health, and property of protected individuals. Other emerging trends in the evolution of the studied institution were outlined: the incorporation of information technologies, the establishment of a balance between publicity and confidentiality of the security measures applied, the resolution of conflicts between the legitimate interests of protected individuals, public bodies, and the state as a whole.
