Here is a story form Arkansas about a sheriff who may have gotten too close to his informant. Managing confidential informants is a high risk business. Many officers have no idea how easily they can find themselves being corrupted. There is often an unhealthy combination of ignorance and hubris. Add this to lack of structures within an agency and poor supervision and it is a recipe for disaster.
The type of behavior discussed in the article happens far to often. Chiefs of police and Sheriffs need to put in place structures to mitigate the risks. of course if tit is the Sheriff that is engaged in this type of behavior, then therein lies the problem.
These type of things are avoidable.. It is not to late to put your house in order, even if you think it is. It may be to late for a particular officer…
