As an SDS officer

According to John Mitting, Chair of the Undercover Policing Inquiry:[1]

Prior to joining the [SDS] in 2001, HN24 handled and distributed intelligence gathered by deployed undercover officers at the time of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry. After joining, he served as a cover officer for deployed undercovers, including HN104 (Carlo Neri).[1]

N81 stated to Op. Herne: 'I was informed, at the height of the Macpherson Inquiry, that my reporting was going straight to Sir Paul Condon’s desk each morning via N24, and N127 (SDS Sgt) passed on to me from N24 congratulations from the Commissioner for your excellent reporting...' (Ellison, p. 232).[2]

In the Undercover Policing Inquiry

  • Apr 2018: Mitting said he was minded to refuse the application to restrict release of HN24's real name, writing:[3][1]
He has valuable evidence to give about both issues [see above]. No risk to his safety would arise from giving such evidence in his own name and the impact on his right to respect for private and family life would likely to be confined to unwelcome media attention. The public interest in him giving this evidence in his own name and in public substantially outweighs any interference in the right of HN24 to respect for his private and family life under Article 8... Part of the evidence of HN24, about his discharge of his duties as a cover officer for other deployed undercover officers will have to be given in closed session, for their protection.
  • Apr 2018: Mitting also orders that HN24 should provide notification if they wish their application for anonymity to be heard in closed hearing by 7 May 2018, with skeleton argument setting out objections to his Minded To to reject application to restrict real name to be provided by 11 May 2018.[3]
  • Nov 2017: extension sought to be deal with in a future tranche.[4]
