High-quality education is one of the necessary components of the effective use by law enforcement agencies of criminalistic methods, tools and recommendations in the fight against crime. Low-level forensic experts spend most of their working hours as forensic specialists involved in the inspection of accident sites. An analy-sis of the educational programs (using the example of the Volgograd Academy of the Ministry of the Interior of Russia) in which they are trained showed a clear skew towards the development of purely expert disciplines to the detriment of the knowledge required by forensic specialists to work on the scene. The authors pro-vide recommendations for improvement of these programs, whose main drawback is their lack of topics related to the analysis of the situation of the accident. In this re-gard, the article suggests that in the process of training cadets and trainees, they should not "focus" only on the issues of detecting, fixing and removing traces of a crime, but pay significant attention to the analytical aspects of situational investiga-tion of the scene.
