- 1). Have knowledge of or direct involvement in a potential crime. In order to become an informant, you will need to help law enforcement agents infiltrate barriers so that they can crack new information about a potential crime.
- 2). Visit the Federal Bureau of Investigation's official website. Under the "Contact Us" and "Scams & Safety" tab, you can submit tips for terrorism and also report Internet crimes. If your tip is good enough, an FBI agent may contact you directly.
- 3). Reach out directly to the FBI yourself. The FBI has 56 offices throughout the United States. Locate your local FBI office and try to set up a meeting. If you have specific requirements you want to see fulfilled in exchange for your information, you will need to negotiate this issue.
- 4). Be approached by law enforcement. If you have already been linked to a crime, an FBI agent or police officer may contact you about becoming an informant. If you have a lawyer, he may be able to negotiate terms for leniency in exchange for your help.
- 5). Complete paperwork that documents your capability of being an informant. The FBI agent must then seek approval of your qualifications from a supervisor. If your qualifications are approved, you will be placed on government payroll and will face yearly reviews.
