Abstract
As a complex mechanism, the activities of the State in all its various spheres of existence are carefully planned, both in the long and short term (Wagner, 2021). The activities of the State institutions that ensure national security and carry out the various executive functions entrusted to them are no exception. The role of the State Border Guard Service under the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Lithuania (further – SBGS) in this context is of particular importance, since the officers of the Service - border guards - are the first to greet, or to see off, persons arriving in, or leaving, Lithuania. Despite this unique role, in addition to the other very important functions assigned to it, the SBGS also performs another function directly related to national security and the security of all of us: risk analysis and assessment. This work is carried out by the SBGS at several levels. The highest of them covers long-term monitoring, identification of risk factors, trends and their constant updating, while the lowest one is the risk assessment carried out by a specific officer, at a specific time, carrying out a border inspection, which starts the whole chain of risk assessment, which contains information on the risk factors observed and recorded by the officers during the course of their service.
The aim of the article is to present the actions of the SBGS officers in the course of the risk assessment during the border inspection. The aim is mainly based on the provisions of the legislation and the recommendations offered by Frontex.
