The issues of using mathematical knowledge in the investigation of crimes are considered. It’s indicated that the application of mathematical methods in the investigation is limited by the wide range of ways of establishing evidentiary information, which are not always subjected to the mathematical calculations. We have drawn attention to the fact that the modern use of mathematical methods is basically reduced to the use of algorithms in various aspects of the process of investigating crimes. It’s defined that the purpose of algorithmic investigation activity is its optimization, efficiency, objectivity of the results, reduction of the terms of investigation and creation of real conditions for the development of automated systems for processing and evaluating of the received information, taking decisions in certain typical situations. The importance of criminalistic algorithms in choosing optimal tactical solutions is substantiated in the situations, where there are several variants of solutions and the ambiguity of the expected results when making a decision. Two groups of investigation tasks are presented which are divided among themselves, depending on the clarity of the initial information, which was used in their formation. There is shown a relationship that exists between the analysis of the initial information in the formulation of a tactical task and the choice of an algorithm for its solution by making tactical decisions. It’s pointed out that the uncertainty and incompleteness of the initial data of the tactical task considerably complicates the use of mathematical algorithms. There is analyzed the use of algorithms in the construction: of a private technique for investigating crimes; of a tactical operation; when forming a system of tactical methods. Critical remarks are presented about the available modern algorithms (programs) of the investigator’s actions as non-concrete, multivariate and not reflecting the logical sequence of actions aimed at accomplishing the tasks of investigation and achieving the desired result.
