All Ukrainian conference participants supported the reporter with the speaker on legal illiteracy and business primitiveness of the project under consideration, which is the seventh in Ukraine since the revival of detective activity in Ukraine.

The speaker emphasized that in the development of the draft of this Law, in addition to people's deputies and representatives of state bodies, representatives of detective organizations, lawyers, lawyers, including experts in the field of international law.
The need for Ukrainian private detectives to study the laws of foreign countries that regulate the detective activities of these countries, obtain and develop methods for these activities for practical use both in Ukraine and in countries of their possible stay, and to train these methods in order to enter the foreign market of detective services, the vice noted - President of ADSS “ARSS” Berezin AK (Ukraine, Lugansk). He emphasized that the main role in fulfilling these tasks is assigned to Ukrainian professional and public associations of private detectives, such as the All-Ukrainian Association of Private Detectives, the Association of Detective Services of Ukraine “ARSS”, etc.
“The role of detectives and the use of the results of detective work in the criminal process” and “Information process in the activities of the Ukrainian detective”, the topics of the conference were considered by participants in a blitz mode. So, Berezin A.K., Chief Executive Officer of the Private Enterprise “Economic Security Agency“ ALLAN ” (Ukraine, Lugansk) an opinion was expressed that in Ukraine there is no need for legislative introduction of a private detective in the composition of the participants in the criminal process and the substitution of the role of an operative or investigator, as The CPC of Ukraine has already provided for the concept of a “third party”. It is important that the private investigator, on behalf of the participant in the process (the victim, suspect, accused or lawyer), collect the necessary information by legal methods, correctly document it and transmit it to the customer. Entering this information into the criminal process is the task of the participant in the criminal process, it is the duty of the investigator, and the recognition of this information as proof or refusal to do so is the legal right of the court.
In Ukraine, in addition to state, banking, medical, commercial secrets, the private life of citizens is legally protected. The Law of Ukraine “On the Protection of Personal Data” has entered into force. This almost completely limits the ability of a private detective to legally receive any information, including basic address information, without the consent of the person concerned. Chef-Director of the Emergency Management Agency "Economic Security" ALLAN "Berezin A.K. (Ukraine, Lugansk), an option was proposed, when collecting information, to use the powers of a journalist, who are legally enshrined in Ukraine, in a private detective. The methods and goals of a journalist and a private investigator are very similar in their activities. The general director of the LLC Legal Detective Agency EL ES GROUP LLC Sinitsyn VA (Ukraine, Sumy) suggested using a lawyer's request to obtain information about a person of interest.
In general, the conference achieved its main goal - to objectively inform interested representatives of Ukrainian authorities, private detectives, etc. about the time and causes of detective activity in Ukraine, its historical stages of development, pressing problems and prospects.
The participants of the International Scientific and Practical Conference were awarded the appropriate certificates.
