An informant may not be directly employed by the police, or any agency. They might be working off a charge, (C.I), or it might be a neighbor at a former address who happens to know where you moved and openly tells the officers.
In this day our technology works against those absconding. Smart phones use GPS satellite communication. (Enough said?) Facebook, myspace, etc.

But in most area's you can call the local police department that has jurisdiction where that person is located or call the police department from where the crime was committed and give them the information.
