Tactics of Supervisory Activities of the Prosecutor’s Office: Procedures for Development and Implementation

The paper examines the challenges associated with the organization and execution of prosecutorial inspections, based on the results of the author’s research focused on the fundamentals of prosecutorial supervisory tactics. The tactics under consideration are developed to achieve the objectives and fulfill the tasks of each supervision stage when issues related to prosecutorial supervision are identified. An analysis of doctrinal and practical sources demonstrated deficiencies in the regulatory legal framework governing prosecutorial supervision and review, characteristic of both Soviet-era and contemporary prosecutorial bodies. This situation adversely affects the development of supervisory activities carried out by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, the rule of law in the country, and the professional skill development of prosecutorial personnel. Given that tactics represent a key factor in enhancing effectiveness, the author proposes an algorithm for the development and implementation of prosecutorial oversight tactics for practical use by prosecutors. The proposed algorithm comprises specific elements that form a universal structure adaptable to any oversight stage depending on the conditions of the supervisory situation. The research findings demonstrate that this algorithm operates based on fundamental algorithmic constructs used in computer science. Considering the labor-intensive nature of tactical development, the author recommends employing digital technologies to rationalize work time allocation and to process and store large databases of information obtained during supervisory activities of prosecutorial bodies.
