'''Edward David Jones''' is the cover name used by an undercover officer. He was generally called '''Dave Jones''' by those he infiltrated, but also nicknamed '''Bob the Builder''' or '''Edge''' on occasion. He had two separate deployments, the first in 2000 for the [[National Public Order Intelligence Unit]] (NPOIU) when he targeted anarchist / anti-capitalist group the W.OM.B.L.E.S. The second was from 2005 to 2007 when he infiltrated environmentalists London Rising Tide and the Camp for Climate Action at Drax (2006), at which point he was deployed by the [[Special Demonstration Squad]] (SDS).

For the purposes of the [[Undercover Policing Inquiry]] and [[Operation Herne]], he has been given two ciphers: '''HN66''' from his time in the SDS and '''EN327''' from his time in the NPIOU.

According to the Inquiry, he is no longer a police officer and has worked 'in a limited way' as a private investigator.

'''''The full profile of 'Dave Jones' will be published early July 2019.'''''
