• How should law enforcement protect informants from mental and physiological harm they may experience during the sting operation?

A sting operation is one in which a police officer infiltrates a criminal organization as a member of it or in a different role than that of a policeman, with the aim of obtaining valuable information that will lead to the arrest of criminals and the cessation of criminal operations.

The truth is that these undercover agents, as a result of the fear of being discovered and the pressure to which they are exposed in their role, often suffer from mental and psychological ailments, such as panic attacks, frequent fears, depression or even paranoia. For this reason, it is necessary for law enforcement agencies to develop containment systems for these agents, both during and after the operation, so that these agents do not suffer from this type of ailments.

An example of a measure of this nature could be remote psychological counseling, or the provision of anxiolytics in a supervised manner by health professionals.
