measures for protection of the public safety which refer to the determination of the people and objects; it can
be concluded that the investigation procedures are accomplished with an active research deviation of the
burden of the

Searching of persons and objects is in order to determine the point at which a person can object to or
find in the same time. Vodinelic in his extensive work with impressive thick letters wrote: “Every public
security is as good as its searching is good.” In a very tight relationship with the forward written, he equated
the military police work in terms of execution of the tasks in the area of control of the military order and
discipline in public places. Repeatedly he stands and insists on looking free, because through it we can
discover hitherto unknown perpetrators, while the most important precondition for successful investigation
and planned existence of elaborate and accurate description of the person or the object of the crime, which
would also be identifying possible doubt.
Milan Zarkovic defined the investigative activity as an activity that should allow detection and
identification of criminal links between the perpetrators
of such crimes, detection and identification of other
crimes and accomplices, finding and securing evidence and information, timely detecting and apprehending
the perpetrators and accomplices, detection and clarification of the circumstances that contributed to the
perpetration of the crime, etc

. The Search Service begins the search activity as a system of operational
tactical and technical measures and work by announcing or issuing warrants, announcement or circular for
the search, and it is made to track down and apprehend the perpetrators of the crimes that are objects of the
search. We define search requests as known or unknown persons and objects that are associated with a crime
or other reason in the interest of the criminalist police. The investigative activity is a system of tactical
operational and technical measures and things that are just taken by police authorities, at the behalf of other
organs or incentive to track down certain people and objects that are or may be
in connection with a crime, or
in order to establish the identity of persons or corpses, if it cannot be determined otherwise. With this
definition of investigative activity, Vladimir Krivokapic, represents it as part of the operational processing
where criminal investigations are subject of natural persons or objects and corpses

.
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Macedonia, the investigative actions are defined
as a system of operational tactical and technical measures taken by regional units of the Ministry of Interior
of the Republic of Macedonia, in order to find certain people or objects, or to collect data on people or
objects.

Investigative actions are accomplished through active searching, finding and arresting offenders,
finding people who can contribute to the resolving of crimes (witness or corrupted), finding objects,
determining the identity of strangers and found corpses and collecting data on persons or objects. In the
further thorough study of the existing literature, it must be recognized that the problems of this topic are
under-researched, and on a worldwide scale there is very little research in this area, defining similarities in
terms of investigative activity without any specific goals clarified; it can be found in the works of theorists,

For military police it is characteristic that in peacetime and in crisis situations, they will participate in the
search and destruction of terrorist and other hostile armed groups. Active investigation by military police
under investigation service in army is realized in close cooperation with the security authorities, police
structures, bodies of social policy communities, professional and organized services (airport, customs and
other services to public companies) because of finding and catching perpetrator of the crime, which is
prosecuted ex officio, finding objects and data collection for objects and persons in relation to a felony.
Accordingly, from the above we can conclude that the activities undertaken by civil police structures and
military police in the search service (operational tactical and technical measures and stuff), in order to find a
person of unknown area or residence or a particular subject and collecting information on individual facts
and circumstances relevant to the disciplinary and
criminal proceedings
