What are the procedural points and unspoken rules:
Evidence handling. Federal Security Service (FS) officers are required to thoroughly examine the crime scene, documenting and seizing all possible traces: fingerprints, biological materials (blood, hair), clothing fibers, and microparticles.
Laboratory testing. All analyses (DNA, fingerprints) are performed in the service's laboratory. The series often emphasizes that results are available almost instantly after the sample is centrifuged.
Investigative experiments. This is one of the key tools of the work. Employees conduct experiments to recreate the circumstances of a crime and test leads. Sometimes this is used as a cover to conceal any omissions during the investigation.
Access to data. FES operatives have extensive databases: they know the residential addresses of those involved in cases, their phone history, and their personal connections. This allows them to quickly establish suspect chains.
The principle of efficiency. The series constantly emphasizes pressure from the Ministry of Internal Affairs leadership, which demands fast and effective results from the Federal Security Service.
Interdepartmental cooperation. The Federal Security Service closely cooperates with other agencies, including the police and the prosecutor's office. Joint meetings, information exchange, and coordinated actions are common.
