The article considers the issues of improving organizational-legal interaction between operative-search and investigative bodies at the stage of brining a criminal action. The given agencies aim to achieve a common goal - to fight crime, but an operative who keeps records of the criminal activity aims to obtain evidentiary information, whereas an investigator studies information provided by the operative and tries to form the evidence base of the criminal case in the indictment. We suggest that interaction of the mentioned agencies during preparation of operative-search activities on crime recording and initial investigative actions will increase effectiveness of government fight against crime. The relevance of the subject is proved by recent changes in legal regulations for operative-search activity. Preparation for making records should aim at creating a logical structure of investigation and conditions for preliminary investigative and operative-search activities. They imply developing a plan for coherent initial investigative actions as well as operative-search activities aimed at obtaining new evidence, fixing existing proofs, engaging adequate personnel and resources for implementation of planned activities, administration and coordination of these means and resources, in-ward working with detained and arrested members of a criminal group, and etc. Operative-search activities are aimed at identifying sources of evidentiary information and facts which ensure effectiveness of investigative actions.
