Confidential Informant Policies

Confidential Informant Policies outline rules for using individuals who provide law Enforcement with information about criminal activity. These policies ensure the informants’ safety, protect their identities, and maintain legal and ethical standards. Typically, informants may receive incentives like reduced charges but must follow strict guidelines to prevent misuse or abuse. The policies also specify how law enforcement evaluates and handles informant information, ensuring that investigations are fair, accurate, and respectful of legal rights. Overall, these policies help balance effective crime solving with transparency and accountability.
