IGS Launches New Independent Review Service to Enhance Standards Across Public and Private Sectors
IGS is proud to introduce our new Sensitive and Complex Case Review Service, a dedicated offering designed to provide impartial and expert oversight for the UK police, law enforcement, the wider public sector, and private organisations. In a climate of increasing public scrutiny and financial constraints, organisations face growing pressure to demonstrate transparency, value, and accountability. Our service is built to help senior leaders meet these demands with clear, evidence-based findings and forward-focused recommendations.
The service provides independent reviews that enhance efficiency, reduce organisational risk, and protect operational integrity. Our structured methodology delivers tailored, impartial reviews that support informed decision-making, protect institutional reputation, and strengthen public confidence. We specialise in reviews of high-risk, sensitive, and complex matters, including serious and organised crime (SOC), post-incident assurance, insider threat evaluations, and investigations into conduct or procedural concerns.
Insights from our leadership team
Darren Bradley, Associate Director
"I am delighted to partner with Simon Parkes and Kevin Gee to advance our professional independent review service and deliver significant value. Both Simon and Kevin express the highest levels of integrity and share our core values, along with extensive specialist skills that align perfectly with IGS's objectives which provide the very best to our public and private sector clients. We have built a team with a wealth of experience, not just in conducting reviews, but in truly understanding the complex operational challenges faced across the UK public and private sectors. Our deep expertise allows us to provide recommendations that are not only reliable but also realistic and fully implementable, ensuring a positive and lasting impact. This commitment to practical solutions underpins our continued collaboration with clients and strengthens the trust and confidence they place in us."
Simon Parkes – Lead Partner
"My career in policing began unexpectedly, driven by a desire for new challenges. When I transitioned to consulting after leaving the police service as a chief officer, I knew a more deliberate approach was needed. Partnering with IGS has allowed us to turn a concept into a viable service. Our Independent Review Service is built on the credibility of our practitioners. We combine our deep expertise as lead investigators with IGS's considerable reputation, business acumen, and industry reach. This partnership enables us to provide an independent, confidential service specialising in sensitive and complex cases. We prioritise operational security and work closely with investigation leads, department heads, and executive officers. Our goal is to offer strategic and tactical guidance, organisational assurance, or diagnostic reviews to help teams overcome their greatest challenges and reduce resource commitments. Every review is tailored to specific needs, focusing on the risks that matter most."
Kevin Gee – Lead Partner
"As the former lead of the NCA review team, I saw a significant gap in review capabilities for serious organised crime and other complex, sensitive operations. After retiring, Simon and I recognised an opportunity to continue contributing to the field by leveraging our decades of law enforcement experience to assist organisations in navigating high-risk cases where independent oversight is essential. By partnering with IGS, we have combined our specialist knowledge and extensive practitioner network with a trusted industry leader. This collaboration ensures our service is not only high-quality and confidential but also truly tailored to the unique challenges of our clients. Our professional service is straightforward; we provide independent, confidential support to key stakeholders across organisations, delivering strategic and tactical guidance in the most sensitive operational environments. Together with IGS, we are setting a new standard for sensitive and covert reviews, giving our clients the assurance, expertise, and discretion they deserve."
