In conspiracy, UC agents and CIs do not count toward the two-person requirement.

• A. UC agents and CIs count toward the two-person requirement
• B. UC agents and CIs do not count toward the two-person requirement
• C. Only CI count toward the two-person requirement
• D. Only UC count toward the two-person requirement

Answer: (B)

The statement tests how the two-person requirement is counted when undercover personnel and informants are involved in conspiracy work. The two-person rule is about having two law enforcement officers present to supervise and conduct key activities, ensuring safety and accountability. Undercover agents and confidential informants, while essential to the operation, are not counted toward that minimum. They perform crucial roles that facilitate the operation, but they aren’t counted as part of the official officer tally for meeting the two-person requirement. This keeps staffing tallies aligned with who is formally capable of taking action and being accountable in real-time. So, UC agents and CIs not counting toward the two-person requirement means you still rely on actual officers to meet that minimum, even if a UC or CI is present. The other options would imply counting these personnel toward the requirement, which would undermine the intended safety and oversight framework.
