Organizational and procedural features of search preparation in the investigation of crimes in the field of drug trafficking

in the article, the authors touch upon certain aspects of a procedural and organizational nature, as part of the preparatory stage of a search for crimes in the field of drug trafficking. Special attention is paid to the need to conduct initial investigative actions as quickly as possible in order to consolidate evidentiary information, which includes conducting a search. The special importance of the choice of tactics implemented at the preparatory stage of the investigative action under consideration by the persons of the preliminary investigation body was also noted. The study was conducted from the perspective of the organizational and procedural actions of the investigator (inquirer) at the preparatory stage of the search. Based on the analysis, the authors conclude that in addition to procedural elements, a special role is assigned to organizational elements, which are: collecting orientation information about the object being searched; collecting information about the identity of the person being searched and the persons living (staying) with him; studying the place of the search and ways of entering the premises; determining the time for the search; preparation of technical and forensic equipment and transport, communications; selection of persons who will be part of the search team, thereby forming a unified search preparation system.
