Abstract: The subject of the research is the particularities of legal regulation of operative investigative arrest as part of operative investigative activities set forth by Article 6 of the Federal Law No. 144 of 12 August, 1995 'On Operative Investigative Activity'. According to the author of the article, current legal grounds for arrest do not consider particular features of investigative unit activities which causes certain difficulties in the law-enforcement practice. Taking into account the practical orientation of performing operative investigative arrest or seisure in the process of operative investigative activity, it is necessary to note that legal acts regulating this activity lack standards that would regulate the procedure, grounds and conditions and other aspects of applying operative investigative arrest or seizure. Based on the author, these standards should be described and fixed in legal documents. The author has used the following research methods: comparative law method to analyse legal grounds for arrest or seizure; and comparative analysis method to define conformity of possible operative subdivisions in the process of operative investigative arrest. The author focuses on oustanding problems of law-enforcement practice assocaited with the implementation of such enforcement measure as operative investigative arrest or seizure by operative subdivision officers. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author conducts an analysis of legal acts regulating the procedure and grounds for arrest and offers recommendations on how to improve operative investigative activity. The main conclusions of the research are as follows: there is a need to amend Article 15 of the Federal Law 'On Operative Investigative Activity' with particular legal standards regulating the grounds and conditions, procedure, and limits of operative investigative arrest or seizure of suspects or other persons in the process of operative investigative activity.
