What is a Police Undercover agent?

Answer 1

Their identity as law enforcement officers is hidden and they are assigned to investigate crimes and criminal acts unable to be "worked" by investigators openly identifiable as law officers. (i.e. - drugs - organized crime - biker gangs - smuggling - etc - etc)

They also are involved in crimes that are "victimless" in the classic sense that typically involves parties that both agree to participate in, such as drug dealing and prostitution. Sometimes it may involve facilitating activities that lead to criminal conduct. This can lead to a person accused of committing a crime to claim entrapment, that is they would not have committed the crime without the government's involvement.
