The author studies specific features of this direction in prosecutor activities. In the opinion of the author this type of activity of competent prosecutors should facilitate both compliance with the guarantees of basic human rights and freedoms, and efficient achievement of goals of operative investigation activities on revealing, prevention, interception and solving crimes, finding offenders guilty of these crimes and finding offenders avoiding inquiry, investigation and court proceedings, as well as missing persons. The methodological basis for the dissertation was formed with the modern achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of study the author involved general philosophical, theoretical methods (dialectic, systemic methods, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, induction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods (formal logical), as well as methods used in the specific social studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.).

Operative investigation activities are performed both publicly and secretly by the competent operative divisions of the state bodies within the legal limits via implementing operative investigation events in order to protect life, health, rights and freedoms of individuals and citizens, property, guaranteeing security of society and state from criminal encroachments.
