Modern possibilities of automation of the expert research process as one of the stages of digitalization of forensic expert activity
To date, such technologies as automated fingerprinting systems, computer programs for 3D-modeling of a traffic accident have already been introduced into the practice of conducting expert research. The possibilities of 3D-scanning and modeling in the production of forensic examinations are partially implemented. Continuous improvement of the technical support of expert activity entails the need to modernize the process of expert research, reduce the time required for the production of examinations, and automate this process. In our article, we would like to focus on the implementation of such opportunities in the production of traditional forensic examinations. For these purposes, from our point of view, it is advisable to use the main provisions of the Draft Concept of the scientific and Technical Policy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia until 2030, where one of the priority areas is such a direction as information and communication systems. It is the provisions of this concept that will allow us to improve expert activities in terms of the introduction of modern technologies. In this connection, to automate and optimize, for example, the appointment and production of forensic examinations, we propose to introduce electronic document management into expert practice, improve the automated workplace of an expert and create a software package for automating expert research.
