Summary/Abstract: The problem of proper supervision of financial rewarding of personal sources of information from the operational fund has not previously been the subject of scientific consideration. Its existence was signaled though in scientific studies and reports from the audits carried out in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Incorrectness connected with this matter has been revealed for years not only in the Police units at all levels, but also in the secret services. This article deals with the symptoms and the causes of incorrectness, the mechanisms of possible criminal practices related to them. It was pointed out that it is necessary to take a more decisive corrective action, and that it is needed to move away from looking at working with personal sources of information solely on the basis of statistics.
