Use of Surveillance Powers - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 and The Investigatory Powers Act 2016
Meeting: 21/01/2025 - Corporate, Resource Management & Governance Scrutiny Committee (Item 9.)
To consider a report of the Assistant Director for Legal & Democratic Governance
The report sets out The Council’s Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA) Policy which must be considered by elected members annually to set the Policy and to ensure that if the Council is using its RIPA powers, it is doing so appropriately and complying with its own Code of Practice when carrying out covert surveillance.
The Scrutiny Committee is recommended to:
(1) note that the Council has not exercised its RIPA powers since the last report; and
(2) approve the RIPA Policy/ Code of Practice for the forthcoming year.
