Police Spies Out Of Lives is a support and campaigning group specifically for women who were targeted for relationships by undercover police officers. It was formed in 2011 to support the eight women who took a court case over being deceived into intimate, sexual relationships with spycops. It was this case that notably achieved an apology from the Metropolitan Police. It also provided support to Kate Wilson in her landmark case at the Investigatory Powers Tribunal. The eighth woman, Kate Wilson, took a high profile and successful case to the Investigatory Power Tribunal (IPT).
Since then, it has provided support to the many deceived women who are taking part in the Undercover Policing Inquiry where they are known as ‘Category H’ core participants. Many of the members continue to maintain their anonymity.
The group continues to advocate publicly on behalf of women targeted for relationships by police. This has included running campaigns to highlight specific issues, or coordinating letters to the Home Secretary regarding inadequacies in the Undercover Policing Inquiry. This has concentrated on linking the behaviour of the spycops to examples of predatory police officers that emerged in the 2020s, with the murder of Sarah Everard.
