Environmental crimes threaten ecosystems, public health, and global economic stability, necessitating enhanced law enforcement strategies. This study critically examines the role of the criminal police in combating these crimes, focusing on evaluating the effectiveness of police interventions and identifying key factors influencing success. A mixed-methods approach was employed, incorporating a thematic analysis of investigative materials, a quantitative assessment of crime statistics, and qualitative interviews with law enforcement officers and environmental experts. Additionally, spatial analysis using Geographic Information Systems was utilized to identify crime hotspots. The study's findings reveal a clear negative correlation between enhanced policing efforts and environmental crime rates, with spatial analysis highlighting concentrated areas of illegal activity. Qualitative results indicate opportunities for refining enforcement strategies, particularly through technology integration and inter-agency collaboration. The study's contribution lies in its comprehensive approach, combining statistical, spatial, and qualitative data to assess the effectiveness of policing strategies. Future research should focus on long-term evaluations and cross-jurisdictional comparisons to optimize global enforcement practices.
