Abstract

This scientific article examines issues related to conducting searches in conditions of tactical risk during the investigation of criminal offences related to state provision of healthcare services. Based on the opinions of prominent scholars and the provisions of legislation, the procedural essence of a search and its significance as one of the main means of obtaining evidence in criminal proceedings of this category are revealed. Typical search objects, characteristic forms of resistance on the part of suspects and the defence, as well as behavioural patterns of persons being searched are analysed.

Particular attention is paid to tactical risks arising during searches and factors affecting their effectiveness, in particular, surprise, timing, and the level of professional training of investigators and operatives. Scientific approaches to the classification of types of searches and tactical situations arising during their implementation are summarised. Practical recommendations are formulated for organising and conducting searches in conditions of increased resistance in order to minimise tactical risks, ensure the safety of participants in investigative actions, and respect human rights.
