Abstract:
Abstract: The purpose of the research. The scientific article examines significant areas for improving legislation on private detective and security activities, relating to: licensing of private detectives and security guards, as well as the qualification requirements for applicants for these statuses; the use of technical means by private detectives; interaction of private detectives and private security organizations with law enforcement agencies. The purpose of the study is to identify existing problems of legal regulation in this area, as well as to design the most effective ways to solve them. Conclusions. As a result of the study, a conclusion was made about the need for more intensive use of the potential of subjects of private detective and security activities to solve law enforcement problems. This requires a revision of the requirements for applicants for a license to carry out private detective activities, as well as the qualification requirements for employees of private security organizations. The scientific article also makes a number of proposals aimed at improving the interaction of private detectives and private security organizations with law enforcement agencies. The authors consider it necessary: to introduce a class approach to licensing private detectives; establish a list of technical and other means permitted in the activities of a private detective; increase the requirements for applicants for a license to carry out private detective and private security activities; review the existing procedure for the exchange of information and interaction between private detectives and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
