They give information to the Police about a specific organization/group .etc and what they do, how they do it and when they do it
Dream on! There is no such website.
The Kansas City police departments does not give out lists of their informants.
A police informer is a person who provides privileged information about a person or organization to an agency. They are often called confidential or criminal informants (CI).
It is highly unlikely that a list actually exists. Informants are usually a closely held secret probably known only to the officer they work for and their immediate supervisor. Even a paid informants are not recorded with their true names.
I suspect that the point of 'confidential' is that there is no list available.
they didn't really, most of their work was supplied by informants.
You can't. It's called confidential for a reason.You're kidding right?
In the 1880s, police caught criminals through a combination of detective work, informants, eyewitnesses, and physical evidence. They relied on developing clues and following up leads to track down suspects and gather evidence for prosecution. Police also used wanted posters, rewards, and community cooperation to apprehend criminals.
very little, they were essentially police, but the rounding up of Jews was done by the local (ie French police in France) police forces. The Gestapo's largest role in the Holocaust was to investigate statments submitted by 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.
The plural form for the noun informant is informants; the plural possessive is informants'.
Informants are sometimes paid. Sometimes they just volunteer information. It varies.
