Current state and prospects of interaction of joint investigation teams with international police organizations

Abstract

In contemporary conditions, crime acquires new characteristics, including transnational cooperation of criminal groups and adaptation to new techniques of investigating criminal offences. This specificity emphasises the necessity of finding an optimal organizational and tactical form of interaction between joint investigation teams and international police organizations. The purpose of the study is to analyse the organizational and tactical aspects of the interaction of joint investigation teams with international police organizations. The methodological toolkit includes general methods of scientific cognition, such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstraction, and scientific forecasting. The study substantiates the need for collaboration between joint investigation teams and international police organizations. It explores the tasks of international organizations in the process of investigating criminal offences. It is recommended to focus on the importance of interaction between international police organizations and joint investigation teams by developing guidelines for organising their collaboration during the investigation of criminal offences. It is argued that ensuring international cooperation in the investigation of transnational criminal offences directly depends on the activities of joint investigation teams. In turn, a special form of international cooperation in the process of investigating criminal offences involves interaction with a wide range of participants in the criminal justice system. International organizations, as external factors capable of influencing the fulfilment of joint tasks by law enforcement and other authorities at the national and international levels, hold a prominent place in this partnership. The application of innovative tactical techniques and their complexes by joint investigation teams during procedural actions is associated with the algorithm of using shared methodologies that impact the effectiveness of investigating criminal offences at all levels of interaction. The results of the study will serve as a guide for the law enforcement system in implementing international cooperation
