The purpose of the study is to analyse the material, medical and social security of inspectorates of the customs guard of the Directorate of Customs in Lviv in the mid-1920s. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity, science and consistency. The methods of generalization, quantitative, historical and comparative, chronological, retrospective have been applied. An important place is given to the method of local history with the identification of the peculiarities of the material, medical and social state of inspectorates of the customs guard of the Directorate of Customs in Lviv during the period of mid-1920s. The scientific novelty consists in the research of the topical scientific issue that covers material, medical and social state of inspectorates of the customs guard of the Customs Directorate in Lviv during the period under analysis.
The Conclusion. The material security of customs officers has been analysed. It has been determined that problems with the provision of uniforms arose among lower officials of customs guard inspectorates, due to insufficient funding from the state. The issues of occupational diseases, medical and social protection and abuses related to obtaining paid leave on the basis of medical certificates are covered. It has been found out that in addition to temporary suspension from performance of official duties, customs officers were subject to material and disciplinary penalties, punished for offenses committed, such as: non-compliance with the provisions of the charter, violation of safety regulations, unauthorized leaving of the place of service, assistance to smugglers in illegal border crossing and transportation of goods, etc. It has been proved that a low level of material security for functionaries of the customs guard led to the acquisition at their own expense of certain elements of uniforms, the use of personal small arms, ammunition and dogs for official purposes.
Key words: Directorate of Customs in Lviv, inspectorates of customs guards, customs guard, disciplinary action, material incentives.
