Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000: Stockport Council's use of directed surveillance and covert human intelligence sources (CHIS)
The Council’s current Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Policy/Code of Practice (updated in 2016) has
been reviewed. It requires updating to reflect changes brought into
effect through the Regulation of Investigatory Powers legislative
framework and to take account of changes to Council personnel that
have occurred over the previous three years. The opportunity has
also been taken to improve the clarity of the policy where it has
been appropriate to do so.
In addition, the Policy specifies that quarterly reports will be
taken to the CRMG Scrutiny Committee to demonstrate to elected
members that the Council is complying with its own Policy/Code of
Practice when using RIPA.
