How to say this in crime scene
To more effectively attack the crime, the police will sometimes send into the gang a member of police, pretending as a gang member so that the ¡§gang member¡¨ (camouflaged by a police member) can collect the evidence of crime or even thwart the crime organization.
How do we call this tactic used by police? either one word or a slang/ idiom associated with this scene/situation?
Thanks
Mike
