You have decided that you want to use informants in the course of working as an undercover officer. You have set up an interview with a potential candidate who has chosen to work as an informant simply to remove drugs off the streets. Create a list of
questions (minimum 5) that you will ask this person upon interviewing them.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but can include: What is your motivation? Has the informer been a reliable source in the past? What is the intelligence of the informant? How does he or she know about the violation? Does he or she have a personal interest, if so what? Does he or she have direct knowledge? Does he or she have access to additional knowledge? Does he or she harbor any vengeance toward the suspect? Is he or she withholding information? Has he or she lied about information in the past? Is he or she willing to testify in court?
