The Reality of Informant Handling

The Reality of Informant Handling 

At Strategic Informant Solutions, we don’t teach textbook procedures or academic theories. Instead, we focus on what actually happens in the field—when law enforcement officers recruit, manage, and rely on informants to infiltrate criminal networks. 

Our founder, Benjamin Freedland, spent over a decade embedded deep within some of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the country—not as a cop, but as one of them. He built relationships with drug traffickers, high-level gang members, and arms dealers, operating without backup, without guarantees, and often, without a safety net. His mission was simple: infiltrate, gather intelligence, and report back. 

But informant work is never simple. 

At Strategic Informant Solutions, we go beyond best practices. We incorporate real-world lessons from actual field operations, reformed criminals, former gang leaders, and firsthand experience in professional informant work. Our strategies, seminars, and lectures aren’t just theoretical—they are designed for the harsh realities of criminal investigations. 

If you’re a handler, investigator, or agent who relies on informants, we will teach you how to identify, recruit, manage, and maintain control—while avoiding the pitfalls that have derailed countless cases. More importantly, we will be on call 24/7 to provide critical guidance and real-time strategies for high-stakes operations involving informants at every level. 

Pay attention. 

Your informants are playing a game. 

 At Strategic Informant Solutions, we’ll make sure you’re playing it better.
