ENSURING INTERACTION WITH THE FIGHT AGAINST ORGANIZED CRIME IN UKRAINE

The article deals with some problems of interaction with the fight against organized crime in Ukraine. Given that the concept of «interaction» is used in various fields of science, but there is no clear understanding of its content, the article deals with the philosophical, military, managerial, cybernetic, criminal-procedural, criminalistic and operational-investigative meaning of «interaction». Specific causes of maladministration in combating organized crime have been identified. It is noted that at the legislative level — the Law of Ukraine «On the Organizational and Legal Basis of Combating Organized Crime» identified many actors involved in the fight against organized crime, but did not identify the entity that would be responsible for the organization of counteraction and the state of organized crime. Existing entities largely duplicate each other, which requires measures to be taken to differentiate between their competence and to ensure clear interaction between them. The signs on which interaction with the fight against organized crime should be based. The own definition of «interaction» is understood, which refers to the activities of two or more interacting entities, which, as a rule, are, on a voluntary basis, complementary to one another, using the powers available to them, in accordance with regulations and the means that create the conditions or undertake concerted action for the successful functioning of the whole system as a whole or for the solution of its specific tasks. It is emphasized that today, most often, the interaction takes place on specific criminal proceedings between pre-trial investigators and operational units. Such interaction today is the most regulated legal act. Forms of interaction of special units for combating organized crime with other state bodies are considered. It is concluded that counteraction to this phenomenon requires special attention of all public authorities, local self-government, and not only law enforcement agencies. The interaction of the subjects of combating organized crime should take place at the national level, and not only at the departmental or with the prosecutor's office in the process of conducting procedural guidance and oversight of operational and search activities. The lack of proper national-level interaction of all actors in the fight against organized crime demonstrates the need to prepare and adopt a concept on combating organized crime.
