Operation Sacristy was an investigation that was conducted independently of the Home Office involving a number of organisations and agencies, including the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). As such we cannot provide specific detail on this operation.

The Office of Surveillance Commissioners oversee the use of surveillance powers by public authorities under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
