Confidential Informants Directive | 10/31/2024

---

All confidential informants (CIs) must be vetted and approved by Law Enforcement Department Command Teams before being involved in any investigations or legal proceedings. This vetting process ensures legal compliance, credibility, and mitigates potential security risks that could endanger officers or compromise cases. Departments are required to follow formal procedures and maintain transparency and accountability through proper documentation. Failure to comply may lead to disciplinary actions and the exclusion of evidence obtained through unapproved CIs.
