I was asked yesterday has to what makes confidential informant (Human Source) training provided by HSM Training different from other providers. I wasn’t quite sure where to start. Then it dawned on me that it doesn’t actually start with us, it starts with the customer and what they need. And what they need is not always what they want.
So you have recognised that there is a need for HUMINT training within your agency but your not sure where to go to get the right training and if truth were told you are not even sure what the right training would look like if you saw it described.
When it comes to HUMINT training there are a lot of different products on offer from a lot of different providers. It can be difficult to chose which provider to go with. Herer are a few things you might want to consider before you sign contracts.
“Cops bought booze, lap dances during undercover strip club probe…” makes for an interesting headline in the New York Post but the whole story raises a lot of questions for the police department involved. More importantly it creates a learning opportunity for other law enforcement agencies when it comes to accountability and record keeping in undercover operations.
