Managing Risk in Undercover Operations
A guide for law enforCEment
This book addresses the concerns of law enforcement agencies with regard to how to effectively manage the risks inherent in undercover operations. It outlines in clear, concise language, how risks can be accurately identified and managed, in accordance with internationally recognised standards for risk management. The book concentrates on the risks involved in the management of human sources (confidential informants), surveillance, and undercover work, but the methodology can be readily adapted to meet many other law enforcement requirements including counter-terrorism. The book presents a tried and tested process to protect, the public and the agency.
