Introduction: according to the official statistics, the number of acts involving information technology is increasing every year in Russia. In particular, currently, the types of crimes in the field of information technology are changing qualitatively and continue to evolve continuously, becoming highly organized and more sophisticated. Through the use of information technologies in Russia, such crimes as hacking, illegal data acquisition (information espionage), theft of other people’s property from payment (settlement) cards and accounts of citizens, trafficking of drugs, arms, human beings are committed; the extremist literature is distributed, new members of terrorist groups are recruited; pornography, including children, is spread, illegal gambling and online games are conducted; fraud through the use of cellular and IP-telephony services, theft of personal data in large amount and selling them, and other crimes are committed using information technologies. The current type of computer fraud – phishing – is gaining momentum. Its essence is that cybercriminals seek to get hold of the data of ordinary people through computer technology, and using this data, get hold of their funds, including financial ones. It seems that such actions can neither contribute to the development of Russian society, nor to the development of civilized relations in society, nor to the development of information networks themselves. After all, any technology can be used for both constructive and non-constructive technologies. And when these goals are destructive, the law enforcement agencies, in our opinion, should have an effective level of training to deal with such violations. We believe that it is not enough to calculate, detect, and establish. We still need to be able to bring the culprit to criminal responsibility. In this regard, the most important thing is to ensure that anonymity not only creates the illusion of impunity, but also that the law enforcement agencies have a sufficient legal, organizational and, first of all, personnel basis to expose the criminal. In order to successfully thwart crimes in the field of information technology, the availability of implementation of the adopted standards and the key to the implementation of the state policy in the field of information security is the training and education of appropriate personnel who would provide “breakthrough” results in this area. The purpose of the research is to study the issues of improving the training of the law enforcement officers in countering crimes committed through the use of information technologies. Methods: the research uses a comparative analysis and generalization of the examples of the educational methods used in the educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the field of information security. The authors study, in particular, the general theoretical and practical orientation of the educational process in this area, synthesizing the results obtained, whose purpose is to improve the training of highly qualified specialists for the Internal Affairs bodies capable of countering crimes in the field of information technologies. Results: the authors formulate the main directions for improving the training of the law enforcement officers to counter crimes committed using information technologies, in particular, on the example of the educational organizations used in the educational process of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Thus, one of the measures proposed by the authors in this direction is the opening of a new specialty – cyber-investigator or cyber-criminalist. The entry of developed countries into the sixth technological order and the further active digitalization of the world economy predict a huge scale and replication of crimes using information technologies. This circumstance actualizes the need to popularize the profession of a cyber-investigator – a specialist with an interdisciplinary education, i.e. experience in the investigative agencies will have to be combined with the skills of a criminalist and a specialist in the field of information protection.

The problems of changing the position of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the events of February–March 1917 in the Tambov Governorate are investigated. We study the state policy, the attitude of local authorities and the public to representatives of this socio-professional group, individual features of the adaptation of its representatives to new socio-political conditions. The relevance of the research is due to both significant gaps in the historiography of the issue, especially at the regional level of the study of the problem, and a certain consonance with the modern problems of Russian law enforcement agencies in the context of transformations. It is concluded that representatives of the broad popular strata and the soldier masses treated former em-ployees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs extremely negatively, which was especially pronounced in the period that followed the revolutionary events of February 1917. However, the leadership of both the governorate as a whole and in individual counties pursued an ambivalent policy towards representatives of this social and professional group. On the one hand, the tasks were set for the maximum removal of former law enforcement officers from participation in public and political life, and on the other, their professional skills were in demand in the newly created militia bodies.

This article studies the importance of professional communication training for employees of internal affairs in the educational organization of the Ministry of internal affairs agencies of Russia. The research justified the necessity of developing communicative qualities, acquiring professional knowledge and communication skills of a law enforcement officer by the fact that law enforcement officers are the specialists of the «man-man» professional system. Professional communication of employees of internal affairs has its own characteristics, which are primarily related to interaction with different categories of citizens, including those citizens who violate the law and public order. It is important for the employee to be able to interact with citizens at a high professional level, and for this it is necessary to possess mental and pedagogical technologies. Training of an internal affairs officer in psychological and pedagogical technologies takes place in educational organization of the Ministry of internal affairs of Russia. However, in nowadays, due to the coronavirus educational organizations teach online and these circumstances have led to a negative tendency associated with the formation of personal qualities in employees that do not contribute to effective professional communication. This negative orientation is confirmed by the research conducted by the authors focused on the study of communicative qualities of employees of internal affairs agencies. The research involved employees studying in an educational organization of the Ministry of internal affairs of Russia. The research found an increasing negative tendency of development of such negative qualities as low self-esteem, uncertainty, social and communicative passivity of employees of internal affairs agencies. In conclusion the authors provided their views and perspectives on how to address those emerging issues.

The purpose of the article is to study the genesis of national legislation in the field of operational investigative activities in independent Ukraine, with the subsequent identification of conceptual problems, as well as the development and publication of proposals to address them taking into account the experience of post-Soviet countries. It is established that the process of formation and becoming of the legal basis for the work of operative subdivisions of authorized state bodies is not complete and it must be continued, as there are problems even with definition of conceptual bases of such activity, in particular related to the requirements of current legislation regarding its grounds. It is a question of whether the operative subdivisions should initiate operative-investigative cases and conduct operational investigative activities or send materials about preparations for a crime to the pre-trial investigation body, except for minor gravity, that is, about crimes being prepared, as well as persons preparing crimes. To solve the problem, we propose to discuss amendments to article 6 of the Law of Ukraine «On operational investigative activities», which would exclude from the list of grounds for conducting for operational investigative activities such as the availability of sufficient information obtained in accordance with the law, requiring verification by means of operational investigative measures, about crimes being prepared, as well as persons preparing crimes. At the same time, information about crimes being prepared, as well as persons who are preparing crimes, should be immediately entered into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations, except for minor ones, and preparation for a crime should be investigated immediately by an investigator. This model is more consistent with the work of Western law enforcement agencies, but, as the study showed, is not typical of post-Soviet countries. These proposals, as well as alternative ones, on the harmonization of operational investigative and Criminal procedure legislation require professional discussion, but changes in one form or another are inevitable. The obtained and published results can be used by scientists in further research in this area, as well as law enforcement officers in the conduct of operational investigative activities and crime investigations.

The author describes the conditions and peculiarities of committing corruption-related offenses in the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan and proposes universal methods and tools for detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies. The paper reflects possible ways to reduce the latency of corruption crimes, among which the author highlights the strengthening of theoretical and legal training of law enforcement officers, the involvement of experts at the stage of a preliminary investigation, the exclusion of the creation of additional structures, bodies, documents in the fight against corruption offenses and crimes. To reduce corruption risks, the author proposes to introduce an open information system of document flow between the law enforcement agencies for receiving appeals about the facts of corruption offences and crimes. The issue of confidentiality and protection of an applicant remains open if the appeal concerns corruption in law enforcement agencies. The author proposes other methods of detecting corruption crimes in government and management bodies by improving operational and investigative activities. The author proposed to supplement part 3.1 of Article 17 of the law “Concerning the State Civil Service” with the words both about the possible business activities (including the activities of a self-employed) of a former state civil servant and the prohibition of such activities for his/her close relatives to exclude the jobbery. It is proposed article 13.3 of the law “Concerning Combating Corruption” should exclude the obligation for organizations to develop anti-corruption documents while maintaining the advisory nature of these actions since the current legislation does not provide for liability for the absence of such documents.
