Is there any way to get paid for being an informant for the police (NYC)?

Question

Well, much like the show "The Shield", is there any program such as this? It is called a C.I. (Civilian Informant), but I'm not sure if that is just T.V. drama or something the police actually do. To tell the truth I know mad illegal people, so the way I got it figured, if they pay me per tip, I can make an easy 20 large...and thats only because I like some of the dealers and other genuinely illegal people I know.

Answer 1

If you know all these people the law enforcement personal are going to an extensive investigation on you as well....They will want to know reasons as to why you are rating these people out. They will also be suspicious as to what ur up too...

I encourage you too talk to the police, i bet you that 20 large you will be behind bars yourself soon enough...Unless ur found dead first!

Answer 2

Try phoning Crime Stoppers.  It is confidential and you may qualify for cash rewards.  I assure you that they don't care who you are and you will never have to testify in court.  You can make a few bucks and get some scumbags off the street.  Good luck!!
