The article reveals the key aspects and results of the research conducted to investigate problems in the investigation of drug offense cases. The main objective is to analyze the systemic problems arising at various stages of investigation of the criminal offenses in question and to develop recommendations for their resolution. The study revealed several major problems: violations of criminal procedural legislation during searches, errors in the execution of procedural documents, and untimely receipt of forensic examination results, which often lead to the inadmissibility of evidence and, as a consequence, to the termination of investigations. Particular attention is paid to the need to integrate modern technologies and strengthen control over compliance with pre-trial proceedings, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of investigative bodies. The authors emphasize the development of the professional skills of investigation staff, including training in new techniques and strengthening legal training. These measures will help significantly improve the quality and efficiency of investigations, minimize errors, and promote better compliance with procedures, strengthening public confidence in justice. The theoretical significance of the work lies in systematizing the problems of criminal procedure and proposing scientifically based solutions. The practical significance of the study is manifested in the possibility of applying the results to optimize the investigation of drug crimes, thereby strengthening the rule of law and increasing confidence in the Republic of Kazakhstan's law enforcement system.
