The seriousness of the suspected crime notwithstanding, an undercover cop’s main concern is customarily to keep her identity from being revealed. This disclosure could destroy not only her own department’s evidence and case but may also invalidate extensive evidence gathered by other law enforcement agencies. Being identified could also put her life in danger. If her cover is blown, she is usually removed from the case and relocated to a safe location where there is little chance of her being identified. In some situations, she is put back in uniform until it is safe for her to resume undercover activities.
