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.
