CIPOWATCH is a project of Chez Winakabs Europe Publishing Limited. Established in October 2015. CIPOWATCH is the first of its kind in the UK serve to as a platform to help victims of civil and police inconveniences. Funding for victims and would be victims has become an impossible task. Only those who can afford to pay the best legal team get justice!

CIPOWATCH pursues civil and police corruption which is of public benefit. We undertake in depth research into the governance of public, private and third sector organisations and their influence. We make our work freely available under a Creative Commons licence.

Mission

CIPOWATCH was formed and is funded on the assumption that transparency is indispensable to democracy in providing the public with the knowledge and facts about the way in which important institutions in our society operate, so that they can be fully informed citizens.

CIPOWATCH believes that as the established communities struggle with the impact of reduced resources alternative funding models are crucial to the survival of civic bodies that provide a public benefit, and such reporting can be a valuable addition to daily news output.
