Legal and Practical Issues of Handling Informants

 
Understand how to legally and ethically use informants that will lead your team to probable cause or reasonable suspicion.

The innate curiosity of mankind demands information. The best source of information usually comes from those closest to the activity. In the law enforcement realm those sources close to, and at times involved in the activity, can often be motivated to share that information. Whether they are called cooperating witnesses, informants, confidential informants, sources, or snitches. They are the eyes inside that give the probable cause or reasonable suspicions to hold bad actors accountable. This slide deck will focus on moral, legal, ethical ways to gather information through the use of informants. We will emphasize best practices for developing, deploying and documenting informants. We will discuss the types of informants and their motivations. We will also look at how the methods used by organizations such as news, intelligence, counter intelligence, terrorist and criminal organizations, to develop and use informants, can be coopted and used by law enforcement.
