Abstract
The article highlights the issues of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to identify and document crimes and offenses in the field of trafficking in amber and jade, and suggests an algorithm for the sequential actions of police officers when using UAVs. By itself, the use of UAVs is possible not only as a means of documenting illegal actions and collecting operationally relevant information, but also as an effective mechanism for preventing crimes in the field of trafficking in amber and jade. The conducted research has shown the prospects of using UAVs in the activities of law enforcement agencies.
