Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to selected rules for the use of firearms by Prison Service officers in the event of an attempted or actual escape of a person deprived of liberty from a convoy. Additionally, the author emphasises the necessity of using means of direct coercion in a preventive and interventionist manner, as an indispensable element of the procedures carried out before the use of firearms against a person deprived of liberty who is attempting or has carried out an escape from a convoy. The text contains an analysis of the applicable legal acts with regard to the functioning within the Prison Service of competences whose improper use, or failure to use, could pose a threat to broadly understood security, including human life or health.
