Abstract:
Комплексно досліджено систему та зміст принципів використання громадськості
підрозділами кримінальної поліції під час протидії злочинності, в результаті чого автором
зроблено висновок, що принципи використання громадськості підрозділами кримінальної поліції
під час протидії злочинності за широтою поширення доцільно поділяти на: 1) загальні, що
застосовуються незалежно від форм (видів) такого використання, а також категорій представників
громадськості; 2) спеціальні, які застосовуються для певної форми (виду) використання або
категорії представників громадськості.
Description:
The article is devoted to the study of the system and content of the principles of the use of
the public by criminal police units during the fight against crime. As a result of a comprehensive study of
the problem, the author came to the conclusion that the principles of the use of the public by criminal
police units during the fight against crime should be divided into: 1) general, which are applied regardless
of the forms (types) of such use, as well as categories of members of the public; 2) special, which are
used for a certain form (type) of use or category of public representatives.
The general principles of the use of the public by criminal police units during the fight against
crime should include: 1) the rule of law; 2) legality; 3) integrity; 4) voluntariness; 5) expediency; 6) the
priority of the safety of members of the public over the result of their use by criminal police units during
the fight against crime; 7) individualization (specialization). Special principles that are applied for a
certain form (type) of use or category of public representatives have their own specifics, for example:
a) for covert use (involvement of members of the public in the performance of certain tasks regarding the
preparation (conducting) of covert operational measures and procedural actions, information about which
are not subject to disclosure, and/or information about the fact of involvement and assistance of such
persons need to be kept secret) – special principles are confidentiality, conspiratoriality; b) for the use of
lawyers, notaries, medical workers, clergymen, journalists – a special principle is ethics, i.e the tasks that
are solved with the help of these categories of persons should not be related to the disclosure of
confidential information of a professional nature; c) for the use of public formations for the protection of
public order and the state border – special principles are planning (development of plans, their
implementation, control of implementation), continuity (activities must be carried out constantly,
systematically), coordination and control, etc.
