Part of a series on the
Undercover
Policing Inquiry
N Officers list
Description: A list of N & HN cyphers used to designate individual officers in the Inquiry and by Operation Herne (Part 2)

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]

Cypher Name Status Notes
N406 Barry McDowell Special Branch officer who moved to Racial and Violent Crime Task Force (CO24 / under John Grieve) and was appointed as a liaison between the two units 1998/1999 (Herne II, 21.1.6; Ellison, multiple pages).[2][3]
N506 unknown other From Risk Assessment of HN86: N506, a chartered occupational psychologist, was briefed by N86 about the SDS. She states hat she sometimes felt 'largely ignored', and came to the view that the SDS preferred to be independent, behaving as different ( or perhaps better) than the rest. [4]
N519 Marco Jacobs (alias) Cover name confirmed.[5] NPOIU UCO
N587 unknown Author of the SDS Annual Report in 1985 (Herne II, 18.1).[2]
HN593 to come SDS management / back-office. No restriction order application so real name to be published[6][7] No cover name. Deceased.[7]
N596 Rod Richardson (alias) Cover name Confirmed.[8] Real name will be restricted. Also given as EN32.[9] NPOIU UCO
HN608 to come SDS manager SDS manager in 1970s with rank of Det. Supt.; died 2017, leaving a widow in deteriorating health who is unaware of the Inquiry; the family is concerned of the impact of media intrusion upon her, of which Mitting wrote:[10]
Her daughter is understandably concerned about the impact of media intrusion upon her. Any attempt to make contact with her, to obtain information from her about her late husband, would besmirch the reputation of the media. I have full confidence that no such attempt will be made. There is a small possibility that disclosure of his real name will prompt information or evidence from former colleagues about his approach to the management of the Special Demonstration Squad. I do not wish to lose that possibility.

July 2018: 'Response on behalf of the applicant to the Chairman's Minded To decision to refuse to restrict the real name received. THe MPS have withdrawn their application for a real name restriction. Real name will be published.'[7]

Minded to (March 2018): refuse restriction order in respect of real name.[10]

11 January 2018, directions issued for any application for restriction orders to be submitted by 30 & 31 January 2018 for MPS and Designated Lawyers Team respectively.[11]

HN819 to come SDS back office staff / management SDS back office staff / manager.[12]

HN1361 Same as HN86[16]
