Of course I could be wrong and you informed him he was being taped and the officer concerned is just very dim.
Actually it is nothing to do with RIPA as RIPA covers interception. the regulations which cover recording phone calls are DPA not RIPA and DPA does not include organisations/companies or public authorities, only individuals. I did my home work on this before recording the call.

Any individual may record a conversation with a company/organisation or public authority without needing to inform them, the other way round though (company, public authority or organisation recording the call, needs consent).
