Should a police officer tell his wife about his informants?

Its probably a breach of protocol (i.e. the way things are done). Most police business remains police only business, though cops may decide to mention certain cases or incidents to family in a casual sense to let off steam... without being specific. I knew a detective once who said nothing in the family about what went on at work and the house became a "silence zone" where no one talked much about anything much. That was extreme. A spouse doesnt need to know about informants...it may put the spouse at risk.
