Confidential Informant Operations

Service Description

This course dives deep into the high-risk world of confidential informant operations. These cases carry some of the greatest operational and legal risks in narcotics enforcement — and also the greatest potential for disruption of drug trafficking networks when done right. The goal of this course is simple: give you a framework for running CI operations that gets results without getting your team jammed up. Officers will learn to evaluate and manage informants in a structured, legally defensible way, including protocols for documentation, payments, tasking, and reliability tracking. You'll also study how to plan and debrief CI operations with risk mitigation as a built-in function, not an afterthought. Case studies from real-world successes — and failures — drive home the points that matter most.
