Despite these measures to minimize security risks, it is important to be aware that there are still many risks involved. Victims, witnesses and other informants may experience verbal threats, intimidation, harassment, assault, or property damage, if not worse. It is important to provide support and security to these individuals. The police can implement a security program. 206 However, when the police are implicated in the violations, other security protection should be put in place. Unofficial investigators may contribute to this by considering undertaking the following security measures: • Arrange a temporary change of residence, to a relative’s house or a nearby town; • Provide emergency contacts; • Arrange with a telephone company to (regularly) change the individual’s telephone number; • Install security devices in the individual’s home (such as security doors, alarms or fencing); • Provide electronic warning devices and mobile telephones with emergency numbers; ��� Minimize public contacts with uniformed police; and • Use discrete and safe premises to interview and brief witnesses. 207 The level and extent to which such measures can be put in place depends on the resources and expertise available. Make sure to never make false promises regarding safety. Only make those promises that you know you can effectively provide. Also, reach out to bigger and more resourced organizations and their networks before interacting with an informant in order to discuss the safest option or the most practicable confidentiality procedure that is available. 206 UNODC, Good practices for the protection of witnesses in criminal proceedings involving organized crime, 30 (Jan. 2008), available at http://www.unodc.org/documents/southeastasiaandpacific//Publications/Projects/indonesia/Good_practice s_for_the_protection_of_witnesses_in_criminal_proceedings_involving_organized_crime.pdf. 207 UNODC, Good practices for the protection of witnesses in criminal proceedings involving organized crime, 30 (Jan. 2008), available at http://www.unodc.org/documents/southeastasiaandpacific//Publications/Projects/indonesia/Good_practice s_for_the_protection_of_witnesses_in_criminal_proceedings_involving_organized_crime.pdf. 128
