Covert definition

Covert in this context means carried out in a manner calculated to ensure that those subject to the surveillance are unaware that it is or may be taking place. It usually involves personal observation, the use of CCTV, or accessing communications data such as mobile phone number subscriber or website details. However, even using these powers, the Council cannot carry out intrusive surveillance, such as putting a hidden camera in a suspect’s home to observe them, or listening to or obtaining the contents of telephone call or emails; such intrusive surveillance can only be carried out by the Police and government security services.
