    A 'Mr Big' operation is used by undercover police officers to elicit confessions from suspects. Police officers form a criminal organisation and invite the suspect to join it. Over the course of months the police officers build a relationship with the suspect and encourage them to carry out small pre-planned crimes for financial reward. Once the suspect is integrated into the organisation they are pressured to divulge information about their criminal background in order to gain acceptance into the organisation. 'Mr Big' operations have been used to successfully solve cold cases in Canada New Zealand and Australia.
