==2005 BBC undercover==
In March 2005, when Oakington was run by Global Solutions Ltd. (GSL), BBC journalists got jobs at the centre and produced 'Detention Undercover – the Real Story'.'Probe into immigrant abuse claims', BBC, 1 March 2005 The programme included secret filming of GSL employees verbally abusing and threatening inmates, and talking about using physical violence when out of sight of any CCTV cameras, for example in lifts and vans.
After the screening of the programme, GSL released a statement purporting to be 'shocked and dismayed' by its contents, eager to reassure everyone that the activities described were only carried out by a violent minority. However, this abuse had been going on for a long time, and the fact that the company does nothing about it until being exposed on national TV was hardly encouraging. Visitors to detainees confirmed that the problem was much wider than a violent minority, and were not remotely surprised by the contents of the programme.'Asylum abuse “is not surprising”', BBC, 2 March 2005
After the screening of the programme, immigration minister Des Browne called for an official independent investigation into the allegations made in the programme; GSL undertook an internal investigation. A further inquiry was made by prison ombudsman Stephen Shaw.
==2010 death of Eliud Nguli Nyenze==
On 15 April 2010, Eliud Nguli Nyenze, "a 40-year-old Kenyan man died at Oakington removal centre in Cambridge after apparently suffering a heart attack. Campaigners and other detainees alleged that he had been refused medical care. Following his death a disturbance erupted at Oakington and at least sixty people were transferred to prisons. In the days following his death, G4S, which operated the centre, was stripped of its British Safety Council award for its ‘commitment to improving health and safety’. An inquest in October 2010 was told that Eliud had collapsed in his room and had earlier been refused paracetamol despite complaining that he was unwell. An ambulance took twenty minutes to reach the centre and the nurse who went to treat him did not take a defibrillator with her. The Home Office pathologist could find no cause of death but suggested sudden adult death syndrome. The inquest jury recorded a verdict that he died of natural causes, a verdict Eliud’s family were unhappy with", according to the Institute of Race Relations.Deaths in Immigration Detention, Harmit Athwal, IRR News, 8 May 2014

Oakland Consultancy

:In the United Kingdom the Office of Science and Technology is funding the first stage of Nest. The project is led by the Natural Environment Research Council, working closely with Leeds University and the Centre for Marine and Petroleum Technology, Pira International, the Centre for Exploitation of Science and Technology and Oakland Consultancy. Nest is supported by all the research councils. It will carry information on academic research and industrial users' needs. Its two-way browsing capabilities stem from two kernel systems: the Leeds Virtual Science Park, which lists the research interests and expertise of academics; and a system called Pteris which acts mainly as a want list for CMPT members.
:The Leeds Virtual Science Park is viewable now, though it is under development. The virtual science park developers will probably extend it with a system that mines information from the Internet, rather than trying to incorporate other databases in their entirety. Nest may, however, build its own added-value temporary databases, based on needs that it perceives from traffic on the system.The Times Higher Education Supplement March 14, 1997 The business world goes shopping; Multimedia; Science, engineering and maths BYLINE: PAULA GOMES and JANET VAUX
:Other universities market their collective expertise more aggressively. UMIST Ventures Ltd, for example, is a company that promotes its staff to industry. Where such companies do not exist, outside agencies such as the Cambridge-based Oakland Consultancy fill the gap, matching academics to their industrial clients.The Times Higher Education Supplement April 17, 1998 The rise of the adviser; Research Monthly; Business Spinoffs BYLINE: AYALA OCHERT

Observer B

Observer B was an informant working for the British Army and MI5 officers 'Julian' and 'James' in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.Witness Statment: Observer B' Bloody Sunday Inquiry, 2 February 2000, archived at the National Archives.
Observer B reportedly told journalist Liam Clarke that he knew of abuse at the Kincora children's home.
::'My case officer told me to leave McGrath to them and I have always believed they used the information (about his sexual activities) to recruit him as an informer,' Observer B told me.
::He was referring to William McGrath, the housemaster of Kincora Boys' Home and one of three men later jailed for abusing youngsters in his care. Observer B, who had supplied a dossier to MI5, was promptly told to leave McGrath's Tara paramilitary group and join the UDA.Liam Clarke, Kincora: MI5 knew about it but did nothing, that much is certain, Belfast Telegraph, 16 July 2014.

Office of Information Activities

The Office of Information Activities (OIA) replaced the Office of Strategic Influence (OSI) at the US Department of Defense(DoD) following the OSI's abolition in February 2002. Ann Scott Tyson, Hearts, minds, leaflets: War's psychological side, Christian Science Monitor, 30 January 2003.
Lieutenant Colonel Susan L. Gough gives the following account based on interviews with DoD staffers Thomas Timmes, Michael Furlong and Daniel Devlin for a U.S. Army War College study:
::All that remains in OSD for strategic influence is a small Office of Information Activities (OIA) buried within ASD SOLIC. OIA has retained responsibility for policy oversight of military psychological operations activities. It also provides the OSD representative to the CTIS PCC. OIA hopes to implement a few of the actions recommended by OSI, but with few resources, few personnel, and little authority, its effectiveness is doubtful. Additionally, OIA is maintaining a low profile, due to fears that whoever sabotaged OSI will also sabotage OIA.LTC Susan L. Gough, The Evolution of Strategic Influence, U.S Army War College, 7 April 2003, archived by Federation of American Scientists.

Office of Policy Coordination

The Office of Policy Coordination was the body responsible for covert action in the early years of the CIA.
It was initially known as the Office of Special Projects, a body established under NSC directive 10/2 of 18 June 1948, empowered to conduct "any covert activities" related to "propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance movements, guerrillas and refugee liberation groups, and support of indigenous anticommunist elements in threatened countries of the free world."Quoted in Hugh Wilford, How the CIA Played America, Harvard University Press, 2008, p.27.
The Office was headed by Frank Wisner from 1 September 1948.Tim Weiner, Legacy of Ashes, Penguin, 2007, p.36.

Office of Science and Technology

The Office of Science and Technology (OST), later (briefly) named the Office of Science and Innovation, was a non-ministerial government department of the British government between 1992 and 2007.
The office was responsible for co-ordination of the Government's science and technology related activities and policies, and the distribution of some £2.4 billion among the seven UK Research Councils. It was headed by the Chief Scientific Adviser; initially this was Sir William Stewart, then Sir Robert (later Lord) May, and finally Sir David King. 
The OST was originally formed in 1992 as a merger of the Office of the Chief Scientific Adviser with the Science Branch of the Department of Education and Science (as it then was). Although originally run under the Cabinet Office, it was moved between Departments in 1995 to operate under the Department of Trade and Industry. In early 2006, the office was renamed to the Office of Science and Innovation, and was subsequently absorbed into the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills in the Summer of 2007 when the Department for Education and Skills was split in two.
The Government Chief Scientific Advisor now heads the Government Office for Science.
