The article pays attention to one of the areas of information and reference provision of the investigation, namely the formation and use of forensic records of operational and investigative purposes, which are focused on three levels – central, regional and local. Individual types of operational and investigative records, depending on the objects, are considered in more detail, information about which is contained in each specific account, as well as the task and procedure for obtaining forensically significant information from them, paying attention to the problems that exist in the expert activity of their formation and management. When considering the functioning of dactyloscopic accounting, attention is paid to its implementation using the ADIS "Dakto-2000" software and hardware complex, which makes it possible to quickly process dactyloscopic information and search for necessary information about persons of a certain category. Special attention is paid in the article to ballistic accounting, since today, in connection with the war waged by russia against our country, the number of criminal offenses committed with the use of weapons has increased. Bullet magazines, which form the basis of ballistic accounting, are created for the purpose of: establishing the facts of the use of the same weapons in the case of committing several criminal offenses; detection of weapons used in the commission of offenses among those found, seized and voluntarily surrendered, such as were in the arms of the police or military units and others registered at the objects of the permit system. The advantages of the automated ballistic information system "BalScan", which is used by expert units to carry out high-quality work on the accounting of casings and bullets with traces of firearms, are considered. Considered accounting of currency signs, forms of documents and securities contributes to the investigation and prevention of counterfeiting, as well as offenses related to the production and use of forged documents. Attention is focused on the formation of the record of traceological objects in the form of real objects with traces removed during the inspection of the scene of the incident and other investigative (search) actions: shoes; a glove; breaking tool; vehicles etc. or photographs of such traces. At the same time, attention is drawn to the functioning of the information subsystem "TRACK" of the information and telecommunication system "Information Portal of the National Police of Ukraine", which is nothing other than a generalization of all existing records of operational and investigative purposes at the local and regional levels. Attention is drawn to the existing problems in the practical activity of the formation and use of records, related to the improper interaction of the Expert Service and technical and forensic support units of the police pre-trial investigation body. At the same time, it was concluded that the currently existing system of forensic registration needs to be reformed by concentrating forensic records of operational and investigative purposes in one service, namely in the units for technical and forensic support of police pre-trial investigation bodies.
