The article examines the issues of economic security on the example of the work of the department of economic security and combating corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in Yekaterinburg. It is noted that in the context of the instability of the Russian economy, it is especially important to pay close attention to issues related to the strengthening and stabilization of the economic security of the state. It is pointed out that one of the most serious threats is economic crime, as it impedes the successful implementation of economic reforms. Economic crime has a real impact on the processes of production and consumption in the country, which significantly slows down the economic development of the Russian Federation. Measures are proposed to automate the reception and consideration of applications from citizens and organizations on economic crimes in the context of the digitalization of the economy.
