Police informants

Živimo v svetu v katerem bo vedno obstajal kriminal, ki se bo širil in razvijal, če ga ne bomo zaustavili. Za to je zadolžena policija, vendar ne glede na število zaposlenih v policiji in ne glede na to, koliko sredstev in truda se vloži v odkrivanje, preiskovanje ter preprečevanje kriminala, vedno obstajajo primeri, ko pri odkrivanju kaznivih dejanj in njihovih storilcev ni mogoče uspešno odkriti brez policijskih informatorjev. V nalogi je predstavljeno za kakšno dejavnost policijskega dela gre in kakšnim nevarnostim so izpostavljeni policijski informatorji. Policija uporablja informatorje kadar z drugimi oblikami policijskega dela ne more zbrati potrebnih dokazov za utemeljen sum storitve kaznivih dejanj osumljencev, ki jih preiskuje. Za informatorja si lahko izberejo katerokoli osebo, ki ima oz. je imela stik z osumljencem, ali informacije o njegovi dejavnosti in bi lahko še nadaljnjo pridobivala informacije. Vendar, ker so to po navadi le navadni ljudje, jih mora policija zaščititi, sicer bi se lahko storilci znesli nad njimi. Med informatorje sodijo tudi tajni policijski sodelavci. To so policisti oz. preiskovalci, ki se prostovoljno odločijo, da bodo opravljali delo pod krinko. Njihova naloga je vse prej kot enostavna, saj se morajo s svojo novo identiteto vtihotapiti v kriminalno združbo, zbrati dovolj informacij za aretacijo in poskrbeti za svojo varnost. Delo tajnih policijskih sodelavcev je izjemno zahtevno in nevarno, daj so na terenu sami, kar pomeni, da so v primeru težav oziroma razkritja njihove identitete bolj ali manj odvisni od samega sebe.We live in a world where crime will always be present and will spread and evolve if we won\u27t stop it. That\u27s what police is for. But even countless policeman and all the efforts and resources going into discovering, investigating and preventing, this won’t be enough. There are always going to be some cases, where using police informants is necessary to catch the criminals responsible for the crimes that were committed. The thesis defines what kind of police work is working undercover as a police informant and what kind of dangers they are facing. The police use informants when other police methods aren’t efficient for gathering evidence for suspicion of committing criminal offenses of suspects who are being investigated. For the job of a police informant the police can choose any person that has or had any contact with a suspect or have information about the suspects criminal activities and could still be able to provide key evidence in the future. An informant can also be a police officer or an investigator who voluntary accept a job working undercover, we call this kind of informants’ undercover agents. Their mission is far from easy since they have to infiltrate a criminal gang, get all the necessary evidence for an arrest or arrest and also successfully survive the time being undercover. What makes their task even harder is that they are all on their own, so if anything goes wrong or if his cover is compromised they will have to rely only on themselves alone
