Tactical Complex as Means of Optimizing Pre-Investigation Verification

The article deals with certain issues of optimizing and improvement of the quality of pre-investigation checks, which are called crime reporting checks. Statistical data indicate the prevalence of violations of the criminal procedure law at this stage of pre-trial proceedings, entailing the adoption of unjustified procedural decisions to refuse to initiate criminal proceedings. At the same time, the importance of the pre-investigation verification, which is an integral element of the forensic methodology of pre-trial proceedings, is underestimated. When establishing sufficient sings of a crime. Especially those committed without eyewitnesses, this is important for putting forward reasonable working versions, choosing the right direction of investigation after the initiation of a criminal case. The nature of the tasks, solved ay the stage of pre-investigation verification, requires the use of complexes of appropriate actions during its conduct, which it is advisable to call tactical. According the author, the tactical complex is a system of investigative, other procedural, operational-investigative, informational, organizational and other auxiliary actions aimed at obtaining evidence relevant to solving a relatively localized tack of preliminary investigation subordinated to its general purpose, and thus being a relatively local method of pre-trial proceedings. The peculiarity of the tactical complex of actions carried out as part of the pre-investigation check is the absence of elements of the criminalistics characteristics of the relevant crime in its informational basis, since in the initial situation of pre-trial proceedings its signs have not yet been established. Separate information indicating their possible presence also does not form a criminalistics characteristic of the crime. At the same time, they can be used in choosing the right direction of work to establish its signs as a basis for initiating a criminal case. According to the author, this tactical complex should be a necessary element of multifunctional computer programs - private forensic techniques of pre-trial proceedings used directly in the detection and investigation of crimes, in the implementation of procedural control and prosecutorial supervision in pre-trial proceedings, as well as in educational and methodological activities with law enforcement officers.
