The author in this article points out that, in the current
conditions of the development of scientific and
technical means, differentiation of individual expert
studies into independent types or subspecies of
forensic examinations is observed. Mutual penetration
of special knowledge and solving related issues by
attracting specialists from various fields leads to the
integration of scientific knowledge. In such conditions,
the guarantee of professional expert research is the
specialization of the forensic expert on specific types
of forensic examinations and the continuous
improvement of his qualification in a particular
specialty in accordance with the development of
scientific and methodological achievements in this
field. To achieve this goal, the EFU system of the
Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia currently
provides the following: 1) training in higher
educational institutions of the Ministry of the Interior
of Russia on the specialty "Forensic examination"; 2)
an internship, which takes place under the supervision
of a mentor with subsequent certification for the right
to self-produce expert examinations. However, despite
this, the EFU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
system has a number of problems, caused by the
following reasons: a reduction in the number of staff
members of the EFU associated with the overall
reorganization of MIA. 2) increase and differentiation
of the workload of staff members in managerial and
expert positions due to an increase in the number of
databases of forensic accounts and the emergence of
an additional burden. 3) weak material and technical
support for territorial EFU. These problems, in the
opinion of the author, are common to the whole
system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the
Russian Federation and require their solution by
improving the quality of work of staff members and
taking organizational and financial measures
