Organizational features of operational service of lines by criminal police units by S. A. Chyzh

“…Based on the analysis of the practical activities of criminal police units, the author identified ways to optimize the organization of operational maintenance of criminal police units work lines, including: 1) daily monitoring and analysis of the operational situation along the line of work; 2) determination for each object (branch) of economy of the corresponding mode of operative service (intensity of supervision) which needs constant operative attention, in particular by their operative overlapping; 3) preparation and determination of the most effective operational-search, operational-technical and agency-operational measures aimed at obtaining primary operational-search information along the line of work.…”
