Introduction. The scientific paper discusses some issues related to the functions performed by the investigator in criminal proceedings. The authors identified and justified the significance of the research topic under discussion and made suggestions for considering documenting as an investigator’s function. The chosen problem identified the purpose of the study as highlighting the documenting of the investigator’s decisions as a separate function. Methods. With the help of the dialectical method of research, generalization, comparison, analysis, and synthesis, as well as others, it became possible to form the paper in the context of considering questions about the functions of the investigator. Results. The main results of the study are recommendations on drawing attention to the problems of documenting and supporting procedural actions and decisions in criminal proceedings. The paper discusses the issues of functions in criminal proceedings, their meaning, functions of parties, and their division among them. Currently, there is no consensus on the scope of the investigator’s functions in criminal proceedings, which is due to his ambiguous dual role as prosecutor or researcher in criminal proceedings. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research, the authors have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop and implement at the substatutory level some recommendations and instructions on the rules of record-keeping at the preliminary investigation. The importance of professional training for future specialists, including in drafting criminal procedural acts and documents, is noted. The necessity of further investigation of questions about the functions of the investigator is established.
Key words: criminal proceedings, functions, investigator, prosecution, investigation, record-keeping, documenting.
