Covert policing and intelligence management demand the highest levels of governance, legal compliance, and operational security. Salterton provides specialist advisory services from former senior officers who have directed covert operations, managed CHIS portfolios, and ensured compliance with RIPA and the Investigatory Powers Act.
We work with forces and agencies to develop their covert capability, ensure authorisation processes are robust, and build governance frameworks that protect both the organisation and the individuals it deploys.

Our covert policing services include CHIS management governance review and development, authorisation compliance frameworks aligned to current legislation, counter-terrorism advisory and capability assessment, surveillance capability development and training, and intelligence function design and optimisation.
This is an area where experience is non-negotiable. Our consultants have held the most sensitive roles in UK covert policing and bring an understanding of the legal, ethical, and operational complexities that cannot be learned from textbooks. We provide trusted, discreet advisory services to organisations that need to get this right.
Partner with Salterton to drive meaningful change.
