Abstract: The subject of the study is the public danger posed by escaping from custody. The article indicates which social institutions are harmed and what serious consequences may occur after the implementation of such a socially dangerous act as escape. Attention is drawn to the importance of studying the methods of escape from custody, since here lies the consequence of many violations in the official activities of the security and escort units of the police - the assumption by police officers of favorable conditions for committing illegal actions. The problem of shortage in the investigated police units is particularly noted. Proposals are being made to stimulate the employees of the security and escort units of the police. Most of the methods of escape from custody presented in the article are illustrated by judicial practice, which means the practical applicability of these methods by a special agent and the presence of already completed crimes, as a result of which a number of police officers have been brought to disciplinary or criminal responsibility. The main conclusions are some measures to prevent escape from pre-trial detention. The study draws a parallel between violations by police officers of the established order of protection and escort and the commission (or attempt) to escape from custody. Attention is drawn to the need to study the causes, conditions, factors contributing to the escape, only in conjunction with the study of the ways in which it is possible to escape from custody. The development of the phenomena under consideration is impossible in isolation from each other, as it entails unreliable interpretation, incorrect conclusions, and, accordingly, incorrectly formulated preventive measures, which may not be effective as a result.
