As a result of the conducted research, it is stated that the definition of "principles of operational and search activity of criminal police units" should be understood to be guided by the current legislation guiding and fundamental ideas that are not violated and generally define the paradigm, fundamental course, boundaries and boundaries investigative measures, the use of operative-search forces and means in the day-to-day activities of criminal police units aimed at investigative counteraction to crime.
