Bryan Sargeant

Bryan Sargeant successfully completed 30 years police service in a large and very busy police force. His operational role included the management and use of surveillance and CHIS. For the last 3 years of his police service, he was seconded to the National Centre of Policing Excellence (NCPE) as the Head of Covert Training. In this role he was involved in the design and delivery of a wide portfolio of covert courses including the RIPA Authorising Officers' Course. He represented NCPE at a strategic level and helped determine many of the key developments in covert activity at a national level. Bryan is regularly involved in the design and delivery of training to police officers, law-enforcement officers and members of public authorities. He has a B.Sc (Hons) degree in social sciences and is also a qualified trainer holding an Advanced Certificate in Education (Cert Ed), a City & Guilds 7307 and an A1 NVQ Assessment Award.

We have 12 very experienced RIPA Trainers all of whom are occupationally competent in the arena of covert law-enforcement. Not only have they worked operationally in this field, they have delivered RIPA training to Authorising Officers, Gatekeepers, Applicants, managers and practitioners across police forces, law-enforcement agencies, public authorities and private companies. A number of them hold valid Security Clearance (SC) so you can discuss covert techniques without fear of compromise.

There are too many people offering RIPA training who bring a very blinkered view to your organisation when delivering this subject but due to working extensively in this arena our trainers know this complex subject in detail and through interfacing with lawyers, judges, academics and the Office of Surveillance Commissioners (OSC) they bring a rounded view to RIPA training.
