RIPA & Online Investigation for Local Authorities
So much of what we know about people and their activities, including criminal activities, is found on the internet. Investigators and enforcement officers need to be able to safely and effectively take action to search for and capture online material whilst understanding the boundaries between conventional intelligence and evidence gathering on the one hand and activities which amount to Directed Surveillance on the other. Designed specifically for Local Authority investigators, this practically focussed course will ensure operations and investigations, including online activity, fully comply with the law.

Course Delivery - Online
Blueline Learning's PACE training is available online in a live instructor-led environment.
The content of our course is exactly the same as the classroom version, but is delivered by small group sessions using any computer with an internet connection.
Our engaging approach has impressed learners and enabled organisations to keep working, and training, when attending a classroom was not an option
Course Delivery - Classroom (LIMITED AVAILABILITY DUE TO COVID-19, PLEASE CALL TO DISCUSS)
We will deliver this course at your site for up to 10 delegates. Although the course structure is based on the information above, we know every group of learners is different and so we adapted our deliver to meet their specific needs. What results is a course that varies in content and delivery time. We are love answering questions and 'what-ifs' and engaging with our learners. Equally, we don't believe in keeping people away from their work or padding out the training with too much detail, when it's sometimes not needed. Experience tells us that the training will take up to 6 hours, but once all of the areas have been covered, your staff can get back to work!
What do our learners say about RIPA & Social Media Investigation for Local Authorities
The course covered all aspects of RIPA and was able to adapt the course to tailor it to the requirements of the people within the room. It was really useful to break down the topic by sections to allow everyone understand each aspect of the legislation. The tutor was very knowledgeable of topic and was able to explain the topic well. Steven Greener, Rochford District Council.
