"The source and profession of an informant are important. Those guys who deal in second-hand goods can provide information on stolen items and recent activities of certain people.
Members of gangs can obtain ordinary news and information about certain organizations, but the risks are greater!

"Yes, so next you'll have to get him to become your informant on your own. I'm your training officer. Acquiring a valuable informant is part of your performance assessment during this period. I've been through it too! I chose a guy who stole cars; it was relatively easy."
Stella stood aside while the female cop walked behind Jack.
"If you can't become my informant, I will."
