This authorised professional practice (APP) is subject to regular review to incorporate developments in legislation, policy, or operational guidance. The APP will be updated to incorporate any relevant recommendations and outcomes arising from the ongoing Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI). We will continue to monitor developments and review the guidance accordingly.

Go to the latest version at College of Policing (2021) APP on undercover policing (PDF).

This incorporates lessons learned so far from the Undercover Policing Inquiry.
