Law enforcement work, and the criminal justice system, depends to some degree on the work of confidential informers. The law has therefore long recognized that those who choose to act as confidential informers must be protected from the possibility of retribution. The law's protection has been provided in the form of the informer privilege rule, which protects from revelation in public or in court the identity of those who gave information related to criminal matters in confidence. This protection in turn encourages cooperation with the criminal justice system for future potential informers. Of course, not everybody who provides information to law enforcement thereby becomes a confidential informant. Oftentimes, "witnesses" that provide information to a law enforcement agency can be the victim, a concerned neighbour, a family member, a fellow officer, and so on, that do not request anonymity and are actively involved in the court (trial) process. This 30-hour course will focus on confidential informers, who either expressly or by necessary implication, receive an assurance of confidentiality, expressly or by necessary implication, from the officer. Course delivery is a myriad of blended learning, including traditional lecture-based curriculum, online learning, problem-based learning, and scenario-based training. While adhering to case law and your agency's policies, this course outlines the process of contacting, assessing, handling, coding, and remunerating human sources. Best practices are discussed, along with safety and security considerations associated with managing a human source.
