The scientific research is devoted to the problems of legal regulation of the powers of court security service employees in Ukraine. Legislative and subordinate acts that regulate the activities of the court security service were studied. The works of scientists who have devoted their articles to studying the problems of this service were analyzed. The powers of the court security service are established in the Laws of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges», «On the National Police», «On Security Activity», «On State Protection of Court Employees and Law Enforcement Officials». The norms of the law on the judiciary that establish the powers of court security service employees are compared with the norms of police and administrative offense legislation. The peculiarities of performing procedural actions by service employees within their powers are studied. The rights of court security service employees, established in the Service Regulations, are compared with the norms of legislation. It is asserted that certain powers of officials provided for in the Service Regulations of the court security service are not provided for in the legislation. Recommendations are given for improving the legal regulation of the powers of court security service employees. It is proposed to amend Article 162 of the Law of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges» regarding the establishment of the procedure for inspecting court visitors. Among the norms of Article 263 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, it is worth providing for the right of court security service employees to make administrative detention of persons who have committed minor hooliganism or showed disrespect to the court. It is worth supplementing Article 162 of the Law of Ukraine «On the Judiciary and the Status of Judges» with the right of court security service employees to receive documents from enterprises, institutions, and organizations, as well as to question citizens voluntarily on issues related to the performance of their duties.
