Revision as of 11:51, 11 August 2018
This article is part of the Undercover Research Portal at Powerbase: investigating corporate and police spying on activists.
Police officers cited in the Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI) are generally designated by a cypher / nominal starting with N or HN followed by a number. The practice of assigning these cyphers was begun in by the Metropolitan Police inquiry Operation Herne which investigated the activities of the Special Demonstration Squad undercovers. It was subsequently adopted by Mark Ellison for his Review and the UCPI, both of which draw heavily on the material assembled by Operation Herne. The system appears to have changed in 2017, when the 3 August 2017 rulings and direction of the new Inquiry Chair, John Mitting, began using the 'HN' label, though the associated numbers appear to be unchanged.[1]
- For a general introduction into the cypher system, see N Officers (main page).
- For N officers with numbers less than 100, see N officers part 1.
- For N officers with numbers 100 - 299, see N officers part 2.
- For N officers with numbers 300-399, see N officers part 3.
