Ill. Admin. Code tit. 20 § 1220.220
Confidential sources are to be utilized to achieve their full potential value to the Unit. They shall not be considered for the exclusive use of the agents who developed the individual as a source of information.
For internal record keeping purposes, all confidential sources will be identified, using Department guidelines. As used in this Section, however, "identification" of confidential sources does not necessarily imply disclosure to entities outside the Department and the relevant MEG Unit. Disclosure to those entities shall also be governed by the applicable Department guidelines.
No juvenile will be used or receive any money as a confidential source without written approval of his/her parent or guardian and the MEG Director.
In all cases in which the confidential source's activity is suspected of being illegal or improper, the MEG agents shall conduct an investigation and report the results to the appropriate authority.
MEG Directors shall make available to the Department information summarizing the activity of the confidential source. Included shall be records of all monies paid and a recommendation for continued or discontinued utilization.
