RIPA compliancy

Otis Hanley, CEO of SafetyNet Security Group is delighted to announce that having recently completed all of the necessary criteria, we have now achieved RIPA compliancy.

RIPA is the law governing the use of covert techniques by public authorities. It requires that when public authorities, such as the police or government departments, need to use covert techniques to obtain private information about someone, they do it in a way that is necessary, proportionate, and compatible with human rights.

RIPA’s guidelines and codes apply to actions such as:

• intercepting communications, such as the content of telephone calls, emails or letters
• acquiring communications data: the ‘who, when and where’ of communications, such as a telephone billing or subscriber details
• conducting covert surveillance, either in private premises or vehicles (intrusive surveillance) or in public places (directed surveillance)
• the use of covert human intelligence sources, such as informants or undercover officers
• access to electronic data protected by encryption or passwords

RIPA applies to a wide-range of investigations in which private information might be obtained. Cases in which it applies include:

• terrorism
• crime
• public safety
• emergency services

Association of Chief Police Officers approved Security Company

Safetynet Security Group is an ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) approved Security Company and has also completed the Community Safety Awareness Scheme.

Originally employed as Taxi Marshals the role has developed over time as a high visibility sign-post for help and early intervention approach. We have had excellent feedback from the public on their pastoral work and businesses, CCTV and Police on their work to prevent problems escalating.

We have continued to supply Street Wardens to Leamington Town Centre during a weekend, working closely with Warwickshire Police and Warwickshire District Council.

This has led to Warwick University rolling out a scheme to adopt Street Marshalls to adopt a new strategy to look after their 5000+ students living in the Leamington Spa area.  This will help improve the relationship between the Universities, local authorities and local community.

SafetyNet Security Group has been tasked to help with this new initiative.  This will promote positive community relations and encourage students to behave responsibly.  It will also afford protection to the student population in Royal Leamington Spa.

SafetyNet Security Group has been tasked to work closely with the relevant authorities with the supply of additional Street Marshalls, which will not be restricted to weekends, but will also encompass week days.
