The consequences of poor confidential informant management

Here is a story originating in San Francisco about cases being lost as a result of poor informant management

We have discussed similar cases over the years but these types of incident continue. This is not about individual officers. This is about agencies not having sufficient structures in place to minimise the risk of these things happening. Such systems take a bit of time and investment to set up and maintain but no where near the time and effort needed to clear the potential harm done by incidents such as this.

We could go on but where would be the point. If you want help ask us. If you don’t then accept the risk that something similar is occurring in your agency.
