Profiling is considered in it with the help of hermeneutic, comparative, legal comparative and a set of logical methods, primarily in the operational-search, as well as other areas of law enforcement. Goal of the article: analysis of the available recommendations for the profiling implementation in law enforcement and the development of proposals for identifying certain types of compiling a psychological profile of a person, as well as justifying the need to use profiling methods. To achieve this goal, the authors solved the following tasks: differentiation of profiling types in law enforcement, emphasizing the need for professional training and obtaining relevant competencies for the effective performance of profiling. Taking into account the digitalization trends in all spheres of activity, both digital profiling (search for a person using open sources and electronic databases according to the given characteristics of a digital profile) and the use of hardware-software and software systems in the course of operational-search profiling during operational-search activities related with personal verbal and/or eye contact with the object. Basics of the tactics of such use of digital technologies in operational-search and investigative activities are considered. The authors suggest specific innovative directions as conclusions: in terms of practical law enforcement structures enrichment with relevant specialists; in terms of using profiling for general and private crime prevention; in terms of digitalization of investigative and operational-search activities related to digital profiling.
