Brave, persistent, strong people with an innate sense of justice daily keep the inner peace of our country from the most terrible and sophisticated troubles. They deservedly occupy the honorary position of an investigator.
Without closing their eyes, not relaxing, they devote all their time to hard, but very necessary work. Every day, representatives of this profession reveal difficult and confusing matters. Constant duty, operational trips to crime scenes and much more can not break these courageous people. The only holiday when they can afford not just a vacation, but well-deserved honors is the Investigator's Day. But even this date, many employees of investigative bodies meet in their service.
When exactly each of us can express great gratitude for their heroic work?
What date is Investigator's Day celebrated in Russia?
In order to accurately answer this question, it is worth looking into the history and noting especially significant milestones on the path to the formation of both the profession of the investigator and the entire apparatus of the investigating authorities:
• 1922 - the abolition of the investigative apparatus in criminal investigation and its concentration in the judiciary;
• September 3, 1928 - the investigative apparatus becomes a structural unit of the prosecutor's office;
• October 20, 1929 - prosecutors received the right to transfer to the police an investigation of any crimes, because of which, while not being a preliminary investigation body, the police conducted investigative activities;
• 1958 - liquidation of the police investigation apparatus;
• April 6, 1963 - transfer of the right to conduct a preliminary investigation to the Ministry of the Interior;
• On July 25, 2013, the President officially established the day of the Russian investigator.
Who is the investigator, what does he do, and why is his work so complex and important?
An investigator is not just a law enforcement officer; he must understand all the intricacies of the Criminal Code. He leads the investigation, often in more than one case at a time. A true investigator is not a job, but a vocation.
The obligations of the investigator include:
- acceptance of the application;
- verification of materials and decision on the initiation or refusal to initiate proceedings;
- initiation of criminal proceedings ;
- crime scene investigation;
- search, explanation and interrogation of witnesses, victims, suspects, accused;
- analysis of information
- search and assessment of available evidence,
- reporting of investigative measures.
This is only part of the duties of investigators. Not every person can bear this enormous responsibility on his shoulders.
But how to celebrate the Day of the investigator?
Homeworkers usually celebrate this day both with each other and with their families.
For a company of professionals, it will not be superfluous to organize thematic festivities. To think over scenarios taking into account professional activity. For example, arrange a comic detention of the boss by the whole team, and organize the interrogation process at a common banquet table by raising toasts.
When the weather is clear, it will not be out of place to organize an Investigator’s Day in nature, where it’s quite possible to make a comic loss, for example, of a cake or even one of the employees, and then have fun looking for them, completing pre-invented tasks.
What to present to the investigator on his professional holiday?
It’s worth coming up with a touching congratulation on the Day of the investigator, best of all in verse. If you do not know how to rhyme strings, then turn to the Internet or to your friends for help. You can also purchase specialized cards designed specifically for representatives of law enforcement agencies; they usually contain warm words in advance that will appeal to everyone.
On the day of the investigator, any peace guard will be pleased to receive flowers. Choose a composition so that it matches the character of the person and is appropriate, given the personal relationship between you and the investigator.
In addition to standard options, it is worth resorting to more targeted ones, for example, a thermos. Due to the irregular working day, the investigator will never be prevented from having the opportunity to drink hot strong coffee or tea, so such a gift will undoubtedly please anyone.
A fleece blanket can also do an excellent job of an investigator in carrying out his professional duties.
A folding knife with many screwdrivers, openers and scissors can help even in the most unpredictable situations.
A solid folder where it is convenient to store various documents is an indispensable thing for every investigator, while using it it is also convenient to make notes by placing it under a piece of paper, because very often such a need arises in non-equipped places for this.
An excellent congratulation on the day of the investigator is the presentation of an interesting book as a gift, sometimes it is also useful for such busy people to distract from their professional activities, so giving a book is far from the Criminal Code.
An item related to the hobby of the investigator may also be a perfectly appropriate gift. If he is fond of fishing, it’s worth giving him a fishing rod or a set of lures; for a hunter, camouflage will be an excellent acquisition.
Conclusion
Investigator's Day is an excellent occasion to show respect for the heroes of our time! If your family has a representative of this difficult and necessary profession, do not forget to congratulate him on a professional holiday and present, if not a big, but a memorable gift.
