You are not required to name your CHIS in the warrant. Good practice is to register them under a code number.

A

There are two options:

Option 2: Leave an amount of the drug within the consignment to enable the option of charging ‘possession for supply’ and also provides the availability of emergency powers if the drugs move to a person or place that aren’t listed on the search warrant.
