Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000: Stockport Council's use of directed surveillance and covert human intelligence sources (CHIS)
The Council’s Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Policy and Code of Practice was reviewed in
2019 and the Council was inspected by the Investigatory Powers
Commissioner’s Office (IPCO) on 28 October 2019. The
inspection was undertaken to assess the Council’s level of
compliance with The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 and
the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 in respect of its use and
management of covert surveillance, covert human intelligence
sources and communications data. The report provides a summary of
the outcomes and seeks that amendments to the Council's Policy and
Code of Practice be noted. In addition, the Report also provides
data to confirm that there has been no recent use of the powers
under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) and
Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (IPA).
