Therefore, we tried in this investigative project to answer the question: "What is, within a frame of the procedure, and in accordance whith its phases, the course of crime-investigation, and what is the course of the penal-judicial proceedings in providing evidence by the police, attorney general and the court?". During investigation an analysis of the most frequent methods and forms used in detection of the committed crimes was performed, and a rate, structure and frequency of the undertaken measures - which ex lege could and should be undertaken by the police during its detection-evidence providing activities - were established as well. Purpose of obtaining the investigations results was to establich, in questitative and questitative terms, in full, sufficiency and exclusiveness of the compiled formal and informal evidence, and their further utilization in all phases of informal evidence, compiled by the police, into the formal ones.
