The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to involve specia­lists in computer equipment in the process of investigation because the investigation and detection of computer crimes requires the analysis of computer information and its carriers. The characteristic features of examined objects determine, first of all, special rules for obtaining and registering them, as well as taking into consideration research methodology when ordering and conducting computer forensic examinations. Confiscation, examination, recording of computer information of evidential significance requires specialist knowledge. In this connection, it is necessary to involve specialists and (or) experts in the process of investigation, detection and prevention of computer crimes. The latent character of computer crimes, a wide use of remote assess, the absence of visual perception of virtual objects and other factors hinder the collection of computer information. Thus, ordering and conducting different types of computer forensic examination play a special role in the investigation, detection and prevention of crimes. A modern and high-quality examination conducted by specialists with expert knowledge in the sphere of hi tech during the investigation of computer technology-related criminal cases offers considerable support to the law enforcement bodies in combating not only these crimes, but also a whole range of crimes where information technology acts as a partial platform for criminal activities. When law enforcement bodies thus influence one of the components of regional and international criminal activities, they raise the level of both physical and information security of citizens. The authors also stress that the more actively information technologies enter the life of a society, the more vulnerable this society is to the criminals who use these technologies for their own purposes.

Currently, there is a natural and labor migration, which is also the reason for the growth of crimes committed by foreigners. The purpose of the study is to make a complete algorithmized design of the organizational and procedural measures integrated into the methodology of investigation of any crime, the subject of which is a foreigner. Research methods: analysis of statistical data, survey, analysis and synthesis of comparative research of criminal cases, legal rules, fundamental scientific research, deduction. The novelty of the results: in the work, an algorithm in a synthesized form is created, which can be applied without additional processing by an employee of any law enforcement agency that investigates a crime committed by a foreigner.
