In the article, based on scientific research and the results of a comprehensive analysis of empirical material, the main aspects of the detection, disclosure and investigation of a new but already widespread type of crimes in the sphere of drug trafficking - marketing in a non-contact way are considered. Persons recruiting drug distributors among young people promise them easy and quick money, which is attractive for financially bankrupt youth. Crimes of this kind are characterized by a stable, multi-level hierarchy in the criminal community, a clear distribution of roles, strict discipline and personal ignorance of each other. To uncover the guilty persons by law enforcement officers, parallel work must be carried out in two directions: the first establishment of the so-called "dispatch center", where orders are received from drug users and the coordination of the activities of couriers; the second is the identification of the members of the criminal community who act as pledgers. Success in the disclosure and further investigation will be facilitated by the production of such investigative (procedural) actions and operational-search activities, such as: surveillance, monitoring and recording of telephone conversations, search and seizure, obtaining information on the connection between subscribers (subscriber units), withdrawal of receipts and bank accounts, inspection of objects and documents, etc.
