Chapter 8 contrasts the content of Chapter 7 with a focus on the pitfalls and potential problems involved in law enforcement officials working with confidential informants. The problems and pitfalls of working with confidential informants are classified as personal, professional, and individualized issues. Personal pitfalls include the intrusion of work and informant relationships on private/personal time and allowing one’s relationship with some informants to cross the line into a “personal” relationship. Professionally law enforcement officials can face problems with informants in the form of being misled by unreliable informants and informants who attempt to skirt their “responsibilities” or deals with police. And, as the individual issue pointed to most frequently by policing officials as a danger of working with an informant is “being burned,” and having informants provide explicitly false information and/or information that sets an officer up for attack, failure or embarrassment.

Crime Reports

The purpose of the study is to analyze the Russian and foreign experience in the introduction of online services for reporting crime and substantiate proposals for improving effective communication between the state and the population in the context of the development of digital technologies. The features of online services for filing crime reports of various leading states in the field of e-government development are considered. The general trends and limits of the use of online services for filing a crime report in electronic form are revealed:1) the possibility of handling such a report only in cases that do not require an immediate response from law enforcement officials; 2) a limited number of categories of crimes for which an electronic crime report can be made; 3) the identification of the applicant both through national portals of public services, and without mandatory identification and authentication; 4) an electronic warning to the applicant about the responsibility for providing deliberately false information; 5) the ability to attach various materials to the application, including a video recording of the crime, data about the person who committed the crime, and other information. The conclusion is justified that the introduction of electronic crime reports should complement the ability to directly report a crime to the police, and not compete with it. The prospects of using online services for reporting a crime by persons with hearing and/or speech impairments are determined. The ways of informing the persons who reported the crime about their rights are shown.

The author’s intent is to record his knowledge from 20 years of experience in law enforcement peacekeeping and crisis management, and share them with those interested in the topic.The elaboration of the theory of law enforcement peacekeeping and civilian crises management as well as its practical implementation have not received the necessary attention in recent years, although there are more than ten thousand law enforcement officials deeply involved in this activity around the world.The history of the participation of Hungarian law enforcement organizations in peacekeeping and crises management is quite short; in fact, we have been involved in this activity only since 1989. A few books were published covering the individual stories of law enforcement peacekeepers, but a comprehensive study of the area and a written document on practical experiences are missing.

Oversight Body

The Ombudsman as an external oversight body for official performance, in Fikih Siyasah (constitutionality in Islam) is included in the supervision stipulated in legislation (al-musahabah al-qomariyah). Supervision is done so that public service delivery to the community is in accordance with the rights of the community. This is done because in carrying out its duties, officials are very likely to conduct mal administration, which is bad public services that cause harm to the community. The Ombudsman is an institution authorized to resolve the mal administration issue, in which one of its products is by issuing a recommendation. Although Law No. 37 of 2018 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia states that the recommendation is mandatory, theombudsman's recommendations have not been implemented. This is due to differences in point of view, ie on the one hand in the context of law enforcement, but on the other hand the implementation of the recommendation is considered as a means of opening the disgrace of officials. Recommendations are the last alternative of Ombudsman's efforts to resolve the mal administration case, given that a win-win solution is the goal, then mediation becomes the main effort. This is in accordance with the condition of the Muslim majority of Indonesian nation and prioritizes deliberation in resolving dispute. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the community and officials related to the implementation of the Ombudsman's recommendations in order to provide good public services for the community, which is the obligation of the government.
