The article discusses the foreign experience of digitalization of the preliminary investigation. In conclusion, the authors come to the conclusion that, given the predominance of the conservative view of law enforcement officers and the legislator of the Russian Federation, only minor steps are currently taking place towards the digitalization of the preliminary investigation in our country.
