Summary/Abstract: In order to have a clear picture of what is happening on the territory protected, especially in relation to illegal drug traffic, the police must be in contact with criminal milieu and activities related to crimes from the incrimination catalog of the KZFBIH which requires the use of undercover actions and analytical work. These actions are realized through informants, covered agents and simulated purchase as special investigative actions. Implementation of these actions has its own special schemes from a methodological view. Most of these activities consist in the fact that hidden investigator holds periodic meetings with the contact persons, builds and improves communication until the final buying or selling drugs. Deep undercover operations require a longer operation period, special training, permanent support of the agency he is working for, change of identity, conspiration and false legend. Beside the covered agents depending on the organization of a particular police office other persons are involved, such as an intelligence officer or a tactical officer and the accompanying apparatus. They supervise and provide support to covered investigators. All of the above requires the participation of competent authorized investigative officers, because there is no place for improvisations.
