    The objective of this study was to identify cutting agents in cocaine-based drugs analyzed at the Department of Chemistry and Forensic Toxicology of the Criminalistics Directorate of the Peruvian National Police (PNP). The methodology employed was descriptive, with a quantitative approach, classified as basic, non-experimental, and cross-sectional. The population consisted of cocaine-based drugs, from which a sample of 217 units was drawn out of 500, using a simple random probabilistic sampling method. Identification of cutting agents was carried out through a standardized preliminary identification test and confirmed using the GC/MS analytical technique. Preliminary results indicated that the most common inactive cutting agents were reducing sugars (13%) and starch (11%). Additionally, 4% of the samples produced false positives. Among the active cutting agents, lidocaine and phenacetin showed the highest incidence (15%). In conclusion, the identified cutting agents included caffeine, lidocaine, phenacetin, ketamine, levamisole, starch, and reducing sugars.
