Application of information systems and databases in pretrial investigation

In the modern conditions of the development of the information society in all areas of human life, the application of achievements and developments of scientifi c and technical progress, artifi cial intelligence becomes necessary in the implementation of all, without exception, the directions of the state policy of Ukraine. The fi eld of criminal justice was no exception. But regulation at the legislative level of the use of information systems and databases in pre-trial investigation does not mean the absence of problems during the practical implementation of the legislation on the use of the latest information technologies in the specifi ed fi eld. The purpose of this study was to identify the problems of using information systems and databases in pre-trial investigation and propose measures to solve them. The generalized databases used in the pre-trial investigation are: information and search systems for forensic purposes (forensic registration); information and search systems for registration of citizens of general social purpose; corporate information and search systems; information systems that appeared under martial law: the information system «Book of Executioners of the Ukrainian People», the analytical application «War Criminals of the russian federation», online platforms for recording the crimes of the Russian Federation against the civilian population of Ukraine. These include: insuffi cient regulatory regulation of the creation of databases and their use; insuffi cient protection of such data from illegal use or theft; the need for the latest software and technical support; insuffi cient preparation of specialists. In order to solve these issues, it is proposed to: develop a regulatory and legal mechanism to ensure the creation and use of databases and the security of the information contained in them, by providing appropriate authorization documents to law enforcement offi cers and establishing responsibility for their unauthorized use or theft; personnel professional training and retraining of specialists who carry out pre-trial investigation and software and technical support of the needs of law enforcement offi cers in this area; establishment and development of international cooperation on information exchange through the creation of joint databases with access to law enforcement offi cers of diff erent countries. This will make it possible to signifi cantly increase the effi ciency of the use of information systems in pre-trial investigation, which will contribute to the implementation of the state policy on fi ghting crime in the country.

Key words: information system, database, pre-trial investigation, criminal proceedings, criminal justice, information society, implementation of technologies, inquiry, pre-trial investigation, information technologies, investigative activity, criminal justice, digitalization.
