The SEPI Agency is a network of like-minded individuals that endeavour to provide answers to questions about supernatural, extraterrestrial and paranormal experiences that you may feel uncomfortable asking.
The founder, a serving UK volunteer police officer, has previously worked for the National Crime Agency in England which much like the FBI in the United States, leads the fight to cut serious and organised crime both domestically and globally. Some of our officers and researchers are professionals from a variety of fields. Our information is gathered via police techniques including gathering witness first accounts, conducting interviews, and each inquiry is subjected to meticulous inspection and assessment. We provide a professional and daily face to a really unusual reality. Because of the techniques we use, we appear to have earned the appellation of "The Paranormal Police." This is also used as a marketing and trading name for The SEPI Agency Ltd (registered in the UK).
Although we are not an emergency service, we are here to support you, offer advice, and perhaps offer solutions. Paranormal childhood experiences can have a significant impact on your adult life and, in certain situations, can cause mental health issues.
What's a SEPI Officer? Any individual who has been approved and recognised by the agency as an investigator is a SEPI Officer.
They would have received training in techniques such as taking witness accounts, conducting and documenting interviews, and obtaining evidence. They participate in the assessment processes by examining new incidents and cases. It is permitted for a SEPI Officer to interview subjects and get witness accounts.
Every SEPI officer possesses a current government security clearance or a DBS Standard certificate, which is mandated by the agency. This is to make sure that, should they visit your residence or place of employment, they are reputable people who behave in accordance with the highest standards that are expected.
They will wear SEPI Agency clothing, such as a polo shirt, t-shirt, pullover, or fleece displaying the SEPI Agency shield, which is strikingly similar to a police officer's badge. They will also have their own unique officer number and own a SEPI Agency ID card.
Please be aware that we do not use police powers* or systems during investigations, that we are trained to spot any illegal behaviour or suspicious circumstances, and if we believe that the safety and welfare of any concerned parties are at risk, the SEPI Agency will take the necessary actions and provide the best possible safeguarding measures and advise and, engage with external agencies where necessary.
*Please note: Time spent on SEPI Agency interests is carried out in our own time - off duty.
What's a SEPI Researcher? Anyone recognised as a subject matter expert or expert in a particular field of interest that the agency believes might be helpful to investigations can become a SEPI Researcher.
Since SEPI Researchers never interview subjects/informants or gather witness accounts on their own, they are exempt from the requirement for any kind of security clearance; however, they are still permitted to attend interviews, events, and investigations in the company of SEPI Officers, but they will never own their own case.
Along with a distinctive SEPI number, ID card, and clothing (polo shirts, fleece, jumpers, or t-shirts), they will also be identified by the term "SEPI Researcher" rather than "Officer."
Expertise can include areas such as photography and film, historians, attorneys/lawyers, medical personnel, scientists, professors, etc. Although it serves as a guide, this list is not exhaustive.
Why do you have a rank system? We firmly think that in order to help lend the field of paranormal investigation study legitimacy, accountability, and professionalism, some uniformity is necessary. We have witnessed far too many instances of siloed organisations that withhold facts and information from one another out of concern that doing so, may harm their delicate egos.
We intend to dismantle it and enable transparency and information sharing to emerge naturally by putting in place a formal framework. Because of this, we have a ranking system that makes roles and responsibilities always clear. Below is the ranking structure (currently under review).
