Campaign Opposing Police Surveillance (COPS) is an umbrella group which brings together those who were targeted by undercover policing for their political activities. This includes the Undercover Research Group (URG), Police Spies Out of Lives (PSOOL) and the Blacklist Support Group (BSG).
Founded was founded in 2011, COPS has highlighted many of the issues covered by the Inquiry and seeks to keep political pressure on to ensure the Inquiry meets the needs of the victims of the spycops scandal.
This has included writing letters to government ministers, organising parliamentary questions and holding demonstrations and press conferences. Notable aspects of its work include efforts to get the Inquiry extended to Scotland and media outreach in the wake of the publication of the Interim Report.
For more detail see the active COPS website where the Campaign publishes summaries of hearings.
