Supporting Strained Council Resources: How SIASS Can Help Local Authorities Tackle Fly-Tipping, Graffiti & Anti-Social Behaviour

Across the UK, local authorities, housing providers and communities are grappling with persistent issues such as fly-tipping, graffiti and anti-social behaviour. These problems not only damage public spaces and erode community confidence but also place increasing pressure on already overstretched council resources.

While many Local Authorities have internal teams tasked with responding to these challenges, they often lack the specialised equipment, training, or manpower to mount effective investigations — particularly when covert surveillance or complex evidence gathering is required.

That’s where SIASS (Specialist Investigative & Surveillance Services) steps in.

Expert Support for Local Authorities, Housing Providers and Communities

SIASS offers a cost-effective, scalable and professional alternative to purchasing expensive surveillance equipment or heavily investing in specialist staff training.

We provide discreet, lawful and results-driven investigations that are tailored to support your existing resources — helping you take meaningful action against those causing harm in your communities.

Whether you’re dealing with a specific case of persistent fly-tipping in a rural lane, ongoing graffiti vandalism, or repeat anti-social behaviour in social housing estates, our team of experienced professionals can assist at a level that meets your operational needs and budget.

Flexible Services to Match Your Needs

SIASS understands that no two cases – or clients – are the same. That’s why we offer a range of service levels, from strategic support to full operational delivery:

1. Planning & Advice

We review incident reports and develop lawful, intelligence-led surveillance strategies. These can be handed over for your internal teams to implement, ensuring compliance and effectiveness without extra cost.

2. Planning + Equipment Loan

Alongside strategic planning, we can supply specialist covert surveillance equipment on a temporary basis, allowing your teams to mount operations without long-term investment in costly tech. We also advise on equipment use and evidential standards.

3. Full-Service Investigation

From start to finish, SIASS can manage your entire investigation — from reviewing complaints and deploying surveillance to evidence review and delivering a full evidential package, including professional witness statements. Your enforcement teams can then take action with confidence.
