Yes, absolutely. They can be, because they're often with the informants, particularly during the active stages of any investigation. They're with the informants on a regular basis. The informants are obviously targeted by these organized crime groups, which stand to lose a lot if the cases are successfully prosecuted. They're at as much risk when they are around the informants as the informant is.
Just as important from my perspective and that of our officers, who are often in relationships and are married and have children, is that they need to be assured that for whatever activities they're engaged in, their families are protected from any exposure as a result of their duties in handling an informant in a very serious matter.
