##article.abstract##
Subject. The authors reveal the main groups of modern technologies that can be used to improve the effectiveness of investigative activities, to describe the ways of their penetration into forensic practice and to outline the value of information that can be obtained as a result of their application. The relevance of this work is due to the fact that scientific and technological progress affects all spheres of society, including law enforcement, in this regard, special attention today among the professional community deserve the issues of competent implementation of technical achievements in the practice of detection and investigation of crimes.
The purpose of this study was to prove that the introduction of modern technologies only after the prior enshrinement of the possibility of their use in the law, is currently irrational.
Such an approach is not conditioned by the existing rules and negatively affects the effectiveness of investigative activities.
The methodology. The authors used the interdisciplinary approach, methods of analogy, analysis and synthesis.
The main results. As a result of the study, four groups of technologies were identified: complexes aimed at automation; decision support systems; means of working with computer information; other technologies that increase the efficiency of traditional processes. In each group, specific technologies that are most in demand in today's practice are described. Based on this, the basic principles that can guide the introduction of new technologies in investigative activities are formulated: the presumption of free determination of technical means for the production of investigative actions; restriction of human rights only by judicial authorization; autonomy of decisions of an official; preservation of the value of information while maintaining its integrity.
Conclusions. According to the results of the conducted research it is concluded that the reliance on the proposed principles, as well as the action by analogy with the considered specific models will allow investigators to successfully determine how to adapt the new technology to solve the problems of detection and investigation of crimes.
