RIPA (& RIPSA) Gatekeeper/Covert Authorities Bureau Training

Face-To-Face or Live Virtual Training

Introduction To Our RIPA (& RIPSA) Gatekeeper/Covert Authorities Bureau Training

The Gatekeeper (& CAB) perform a crucial role, being the conduit between the applicant and the authorising officer, providing an objective view as to the quality of the application and verifying the intelligence case.
They need to provide comments which add value to the application but don’t lead the Authorising Officer. Plus once the authorsation is given they need to ‘police’ the system and ensure that relavant documents are submitted in a timely manner.

Our accredited Gatekeeper/CAB training is aimed at those people, such as supervisors or Central Authorities’ Bureau (CAB) staff that are responsible for quality assuring applications for the various forms of activity under the legislation.

The aim of our training is to provide designated staff with the knowledge and understanding of Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 to enable them to quality assure RIPA applications to a standardised format thereby ensuring legal compliance.

We Offer 2 Different Levels Of Gatekeeper Training:

A Core-Skills course and
An Advanced Skills course.
The training can reflect the activity that you need it to, with a choice of

  • Directed Surveillance,
  • Intrusive Surveillance & Property Interference or
  • Covert Human Intelligence Sources (C.H.I.S.).

Through completing the Advanced Skills course, you can work towards a formal qualification as a Gatekeeper so you can demonstrate that you are qualified for this crucial role, if you are challenged.

I have never been involved in this activity before but I now understand it and what I need to do. I found the exercises to be really helpful and the comments I need to make for the Authorising Officer.
