REGULATORY AND LEGAL SUPPORT OF THE FUNCTIONING AND DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THEIR SUBSYSTEMS USED BY POLICE BODIES (UNITS)

Abstract

The purpose of the paper: based on the comprehensive analysis of the legal framework ensuring the functioning
of automated information systems and their subsystems, provisions for using the accounting information contained in
data bases (banks) included in the single information system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to suggest ways to improve the regulatory and legal support of the functioning and development of the automated information systems and
subsystems used by police bodies (units). Methodology. The reliability of the obtained results and conclusions is ensured by such research methods as generalization – to formulate conclusions based on the results of the study of laws
and regulations governing the functioning and use of information systems and subsystems in police bodies (units);
analysis and synthesis – to determine the special features of the functioning and use of information systems and subsystems in police bodies (units). The systematic approach made it possible to outline the basis of the legal support for
the use of data bases (banks) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, namely, by police bodies (units) during the
etection, solving and investigation of criminal offences, criminal intelligence operations. Scientific novelty. In order
to improve the regulatory and legal support of the functioning and development of automated information systems
and subsystems used by police bodies (units), it is proposed to introduce a single regulatory legal act regulating the
basics of accounting activities of all information systems and their subsystems, ensuring filling and updating of the
information resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine; to develop and enshrine at the statutory level the
guidelines for the formation and practical use of all information systems and their subsystems functioning in police
bodies (units), with the detailed description of special features of this process; to translate the functioning of information systems and subsystems regulated by internal documentation (organizational/management orders, instructions,
letters, etc.), the data of which are important for criminal proceedings, into the statutory plane. Conclusions. The legal
framework for ensuring the functioning of automated information systems and their subsystems used by police bodies
(units) was systematically worked out; gaps in the regulatory and legal support of the functioning and development
of automated information systems and subsystems used by police bodies (units) were identified; changes to the legal
framework ensuring the functioning of automated information systems and their subsystems used by police bodies
(units) were suggested.
