From the publisher:

The proposed publication is a practical guide for specialists of investigative bodies who carry out practical activities in criminal proceedings at the pre-trial investigation stage. The manual takes into account the changes in the procedural legislation of Ukraine, the new organisation of pre-trial investigation, changes in the procedural status of the investigator, prosecutor and the newly introduced figure - the investigating judge. The manual also offers extensive reference and information material, as well as the most up-to-date court practice on the subject matter of the manual. According to the Head of the Main Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, V.I. Farynyk, the new CPC has significantly increased the workload of the investigative apparatus of the internal affairs agencies. After all, those citizens' appeals that were previously rejected at the initial stage, during the preliminary investigation, are now automatically entered into a single register. In this regard, it is planned to increase the number of investigators from 15,000 to 20-22,000. Currently, it is planned to reduce the workload on the investigative staff through internal staff redistribution, as well as delegation of certain investigative functions to representatives of operational units, as provided for by the CPC. A decision has already been made to create an additional 3,000 positions in the investigative units, and the recruitment process is now underway. We believe that this manual will be useful and will help employees in the exercise of their powers.
