This is a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) elective Informant Recruitment & Management #2018 online training course offered for Texas Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

A primary function of undercover operations is to recruit confidential human sources, also known as informants. One objective of placing an undercover officer in a criminal organization is to identify players in that enterprise. A close circle of trusted lieutenants typically insulates an enterprise’s highest-level operators. However, every enterprise has its weak links, and every organization has its secrets. The mission now becomes flipping a source that can provide information to expose those operations.

In this course we examine and provide methods for recruiting and cultivating an informant, precautions to take when doing so, and how to get the most out of the information a source provides.

Please note, the entire course, final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive sixteen (16) hours of course credit.
