Undercover/police's catching dealers?

Most often it's real drug users doing the set up for police, rather than under cover narc agents. People busted with drugs can get offered reductions in time or strait out dismissal of charges for setting up controlled buys for cops, testifying against others, making monitored calls ...
This happens a hell of a lot with people charged in the federal system, in the state system the frequency of this really depends upon the district. Sometimes people who snitch to save themselves just get fucked over by the cops and get nothing in return except being fucked over on the street as payback.
