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.

The use of information collected by police officers from informants can bring excellent results. However, it requires good organizational work and precise control. In Poland a collapse in this area has being noticed. Thus, not only is it necessary to change the regulations, but also to solve numerous problems that appear in practice and which are the main subjects of this study.

The main aim of the following paper is to draw the attention to problems concerning control of informants and assessment of the credibility of information provided by informants. So far, this issue has not been analysed thoroughly in Poland. Still, it becomes very significant when the information delivered information refers for example to preparations for terrorist attacks. The various operational methods which have been used so far to verify information are time-consuming and do not dispel all doubts. Objections are also raised about using polygraph examination since informants are often opposed to such formalized cooperation. In those situations, the focus should be on an alternative method of credibility assessment, i.e. the voice analyser. According to its producer, this is a better choice than the polygraph because it is not subject to various limitations. However, there are few methodologically appropriate scientific studies concerning the diagnostic value of voice analysing examination and those existing are mainly of an experimental character. Yet, devices of this kind are used in many countries of the world, both by security services and civil institutions. Several insurance companies in Poland make use of them and an interest in their functioning is shown by secret services and the police. Before these devices are used on a large scale in operation and investigation, two issues should be established after comprehensive scientific research; these are the actual accuracy in relation to the Polish population and an adequate scientific methodology.

Increasingly, the use of different means of investigation is enabling the authorities to clarify the facts and to arrest the perpetrator of the crime more quickly and effectively, within the different means of investigation available to police authorities, one of which and the most common in all countries is the police informer, being a person of particular importance during the police investigation, as he or she provides confidential and essential information in order to learn important facts about the crime and its perpetrators. The problem with this research tool is that it is not uniform in its treatment, in different countries, the informant is treated differently, and as a result of this, the product or the investigation that is offered to the judges, as a result of these confidences, is different. Likewise, when working with police informants, it is very important to take into account a series of precautions so as not to violate any human rights, as well as not to being manipulated by the informer. As an example of the above, this article studies the treatment of police informants in different countries, considering the legislation of each one, sentences and documents that establish the guidelines for the use of police informants.

Translating into a non-mother tongue (L2 translation) has received increasing attention from translation scholars over the past two decades in response to the growing proportion of this direction in translation markets in most parts of the world. One of the aspects of L2 translation that remains a relatively uncharted territory is the role of native speakers. Although they are normally involved in relatively few translations from a language of limited diffusion into a major language directly as translators, native speakers need not be entirely absent from L2 translation as it has been suggested that they can assume diverse roles in the process and that cooperation with native speakers brings obvious benefits to L2 translators. The present study aims at providing a more complex picture of the native speaker’s role(s) in L2 translation, drawing on the results of a recent project on the qualitative and sociological aspects of L2 translation. By focusing on the questionnaires that the 40 subjects, professionals and advanced translator trainees, submitted before participating in a translation experiment, the study intends to shed more light on the views, preferences and habits of Czech translators regarding their cooperation with native speakers, discussing the possibilities as well as limitations of native-speaker participation in L2 translation.
