Abstract

The article discusses some of the features of the investigation of criminal cases involving arson. Recommendations are given for the officers of the investigative-operational groups when planning further actions at the initial stage of the investigation of arson. The questions about the influence on the detection rate of the promptness of arrival to the place of the fire of the investigator (interrogator), about the features of collecting information at the place of the fire are touched upon. Obtaining information on the basis of special knowledge, allowing to formulate a search plan for the alleged offender and his criminological personality portrait. With the development of new technologies, for the efficiency of obtaining information from a specialist (expert) in the investigation of arson, it is necessary to use the technology of immersive telepresence (video presence). This allows for a better inspection of the crime scene in the absence of an expert (specialist) directly on the spot. The use of electronic databases and the use of modern means of communication also contribute to solving crimes related to arson «hot on the trail».
