This finding shall be included in the record and should contain the following information: (a) the facts upon which the hearing officer based his conclusion that the informant was reliable and that the information was credible. (b) a statement of the information provided by the informant as specific as is possible without creating a substantial rick of disclosing the identity of the informant. The statement should demonstrate that the informant had personal knowledge of the information he provided. 8”
