{{UCPI_sidebar|Name=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 [[Ellison Review|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.<ref name="ucpi.pr.3Aug17">[https://www.ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/20170803-press-notice-SDS-Minded-to.pdf Press Release: 'Minded to' note, ruling and directions in respect of anonymity applications relating to former officers of the Special Demonstration Squad], Undercover Policing Public Inquiry (UCPI.org.uk), 3 August 2017 (accefssed 3 August 2017).</ref>
