Colleagues The Office of the Surveillance Commissioner has revised its popular procedures and guidance document. This contains the OSC's views on various issues and common questions which arise when public authorities carry out Directed Surveillance, Intrusive Surveillance and deploy a CHIS. If the previous version is anything to go by then it will be an invaluable tool for RIPA users and authorisers. The OSC have sent it to each RIPA authority's Senior Responsible Officer. If you have not seen it yet ask your SRO. I am doing a RIPA Update workshop in London and Manchester in November when I will be looking at all the latest news in this area including the RIPA Review and the IPT Poole Council decision.
