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 1)

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 Operation Herne. The system appears to have changed in 2017, when the Inquiry began using the 'HN' label, though the associated numbers appear unchanged.^[1]

Due to the number of offices and associated details, the list has been split into several pages. This is page 1, covering N officers with cypher number up to 99.

For an introduction to the cypher system, see N Officers (main page).
For N officers with numbers 100 - 299, see N officers part 2.
For N officers with numbers 300 to 399, see N officers part 3.
For N officers with numbers 400 and higher, see N officers part 4.
For a complete list SDS undercover officers see SDS undercover list.

Updated 3 August 2018; further details of restriction order applications, etc. can be found under individual officer pages where linked.

He was in place during the 2005 G8 Summit protests in Scotland where they oversaw the handling of the arrests of Jason Bishop and Dave Evans. HN30 also commented on HN36's as being good on welfare support, including implementing a system of undercovers regularly visiting pyschiatrists.^[7]

N40	restricted	SDS undercover	Undercover in last decade of the unit.^[20] Mentioned in relation to how information from the SDS, particularly on the identities of protestors, was passed on to the rest of the police (Herne II, 13.4, 24.1.3).^[21]
HN41	restricted	SDS undercover	Deployed against two groups in the 1970s and 1980s, of which the principle target group no longer exists.
N43	Peter Francis, a.k.a. Peter Daley / Johnson / Black	SDS undercover	1993-1997 infiltrated Youth against Racism in Europe and Militant & Socialist Party. Mentioned in Herne I (3.5, 3.6) though not by real name; his identity can be inferred as he was the only former undercover who provided a video interview to the Guardian.^[22] Peter Francis confirmed this was his cypher in a tweet of 23 January 2018.^[23] On 25 January 2018, the Inquiry revealed that Francis had used three cover identities, 'Peter Johnson', 'Peter Daley' and 'Peter Black'. This was the first public revealing of the alias 'Peter Johnson', a name taken from that of a dead child. The Inquiry noted that it 'has been in touch with Peter Johnson’s close relatives who have made it very clear that they want the media to respect their privacy and not to seek to contact them by any means'.^[24]
HN44	Darren Prowse	SDS undercover	Tasked to infiltrate the British National Party in 2007. ^[25] 20 Feb 2018, directions issued that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of Feb 2018.^[4] Application made to restrict real name 26 Feb 2018 (published 9 July 2018^[26]) which Mitting is minded to grant.^[27] Mitting wrote (March 2018):^[5] HN44 is a serving Metropolitan Police officer. In the last period of existence of the Special Duties Squad he was deployed to build a legend to permit him to infiltrate violent elements of one group. The Special Duties Squad was closed and his deployment was ended before he had succeeded in doing so. His evidence about the closure of the Squad is likely to be of interest to the Inquiry. In the (very) unlikely event that any member of he target group can provide or wishes to provide any information about him, publication of his cover name, which will occur, is all that is required to prompt them to do so. Publication of his real name would give rise to a real risk of interference in the private and family life of HN44 and his family and a contingent risk to their safety. It is not necessary to permit the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference. It would be neither proportionate nor justified under Article 8(2) of the European Convention. 9 July 2018: directed that any objections to Mitting's intention to restrict the real name to be made by 20 July 2018.^[11] 30 July 2018: final ruling that name cannot be published.^[12]
HN45	David Robertson	SDS undercover & back office	1970-1973 infiltrated Banner Books, Vietnam Solidarity Campaign and maoist groups in North London. Worked in back office in SDS in adminstrative role for 3 years in 1980s.
HN48	restricted	SDS undercover	11 Jan 2018: directed that restriction orders applications to be submitted by end of Jan 2018.^[28] 30 July 2018: further information sought before a decision on the applications.^[6] This information was still being sought in September 2018.^[19] Feb 2019: Mitting restricted real and cover names:^[29] The duties which HN 48 has performed since his/her departure from the SOS have given rise to a real risk of physical harm to him/her and others. The risks remain. Publication of the real or cover name would increase those risks and would not be in the public interest. Although publication of the cover name might prompt the giving of information or evidence which would assist the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference, the benefit to be gained from doing so is outweighed by the harm to the public interest and interference with his/ her right to respect for an aspect of the right to private life - his/her physical integrity - under Article 8 ECHR, which publication of either would cause. The Restriction Order was published 23 October 2020.
HN49	to come	SDS Det. Sgt (management / back office)	Name to be published (June 2018). 11 May 2018: directed that any applications relating to HN49 to be filed by end of the month.^[13] No such application was made^[14]^[15] so real name will be published.^[6] Any cover name to be considered at document redaction stage.^[16] Served as cover officer in SDS.^[6] Named as a Detective Sergeant in the SDS at some point in the period 2004-2008.^[7]

Unlikely to give evidence having suffered 3 strokes which has left them seriously incapacitated.^[14] Mitting wrote:^[15] The evidence which he provided to Operation Herne, in particular about his time as Detective Chief Inspector, is of significant interest to the Inquiry... But for the matters referred to below, he would have been required to provide and give evidence... When I have seen his medical records, it is very likely that I will decide that he cannot participate in the Inquiry, by providing a witness statement or by giving oral evidence. 11 May 2018: directed that any applications relating to HN51 to be filed by end of the month.^[13] No such application was made^[14]^[15] so real name will be published.^[6] Any cover name to be considered at document redaction stage.^[16]
HN52	to come	SDS management / back office	SDS Sergeant. In received the 1998 memo from Bob Lambert on the meeting between Richard Walton and N81 (Ellison Review, p. 229).^[30] 11 May 2018: directed that any applications relating to HN52 to be filed by end of the month.^[13] No such application was made^[14]^[15] so real name will be published.^[6] Any cover name to be considered at document redaction stage.^[16]
HN53/N53	restricted	SDS undercover & manager	Deployed undercover in 1980s; Second in Operational Command of SDS 1998-2005 (Det. Insp.). Though evidence is of importance to Inquiry, there is a contingent physical risk which justifies restricting real and cover names. Mentioned in Herne I & II, and Ellison.

HN56	Alan 'Nick' Nicholson	SDS undercover	1990-1991 targeted British National Party.^[31] Real name to be restricted.^[19]
HN58	restricted	SDS undercover & manager	DCI in charge of SDS 1997 - 2001. Real and cover names to be restricted.

HN65	John Kerry	SDS undercover	1980 - 1984 targeted Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.^[35] Application made to restrict real and cover names (26 Feb 2018), published 9 July 2018^[26] which Mitting is minded to grant for the real name restriction.^[27] CND statement 20 Feb 2018, directions issued that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of Feb 2018.^[4] 9 July 2018: directed that any objections to Mitting's intention to restrict the real name to be made by 20 July 2018.^[11] In March 2018, Mitting wrote: N65 is a sexagenarian. HN65 was deployed against one group in the early 1980s. The deployment is of significant interest to the Inquiry. The group, which was well known, posed no serious threat to public order. Its members posed,and pose, no risk to the safety of HN65. One of the issues which the Inquiry must investigate, publicly, is why HN65 was deployed against the group and what, if anything, was done with intelligence provided on it by HN65. HN65 is likely to be the principal, perhaps only, source of information about these issues. Publication of the cover name of HN65, together with the name of the group infiltrated, should prompt further information and evidence from members of the group, likely to be of value to the Inquiry.^[5] 30 July 2018: final ruling that real and cover names will be restricted.^[12]
HN66	Edward David Jones (Bob the Builder, Edge, Dave)	SDS undercover	Deployed against London Rising Tide and the Camp for Climate Action (Drax) 2005-2007 for SDS.^[36] but also against WOMBLES for six months in 2001, using same alias for the NPOIU. Also has cipher EN327

HN69	to come	SDS head of unit	Chief Inspector, heading up SDS 1986-1987. In his statement to Op. Herne stated '…new recruits were instructed on how to go about obtaining false birth certificates. They would obtain details of a deceased person of a similar age from Somerset House and then use those details to go about creating their legend.' (Herne I, 3.1)^[22] 11 May 2018: directed that any applications relating to HN69 to be filed by end of the month.^[13] No such application was made^[14]^[15] so real name will be published.^[6] No cover name used.^[16]

HN72	restricted	SDS undercover and manager - probably Det. Insp. 2005/2006.	Deployed for short period in 1980s into one group (inferred as 1986-1987). Held significant managerial position in SDS (approx 2005/6), after Macpherson; considered to have important evidence to give regarding spying on the Lawerence family. Real and cover name restricted on health grounds.
HN76	restricted	SDS undercover	Deployed in last years of the SDS into one group and reported on others. Mitting has ruled real and cover name will be restricted as HN76 is a serving police officer 'engaged in sensitive duties', so it would not be in the public interest to 'put performance of those duties at risk'.^[8]^[9]^[12]
HN77	Jaqueline "Jackie" Anderson	SDS undercover	2000-2005 infiltrated Reclaim the Streets, Earth First! and the WOMBLES. Real name will be restricted.^[19]
HN78	Anthony "Bobby" Lewis	SDS undercover	Deployed 1991-1995 into Socialist Workers Party & Anti-Nazi League.^[38] Previously described as deployed Summer 1991-1995 deployed into left wing groups, including some near the Lawrence campaign; joined Special Branch 1986, and SDS in 1991 - leaving that unit by 1996. (Herne II, 12.2; Ellison, 6.4). Aware of Peter Francis' role; said he heard nothing indicating material to smear the Lawrences was being sought (Herne II, 21.1.14; Ellison, 6.3(p), 6.4). Considerable material from him covered in section 6.4 of the Ellison Review (Vol.1).^[21]^[30] 19 September 2019: two women who had been in relationships with Bobby Lewis were granted core participancy.^[39]
HN79	Ross 'RossCo' MacInnes	SDS undercover	2007 tasked against the United British Alliance. 15 May 2018, Mitting ruled that the real name would be restricted.^[19] Open application published 17 April 2018. 22 Mar 2018: minded to: restrict real name, and noted:^[5] HN79 was the last undercover officer to be recruited into the Special Duties Squad. He was not fully deployed: the Squad was disbanded before he could be. He found the experience a stressful and unhappy one. He is a serving police officer and is concerned about the impact of the disclosure, in connection with his would-be role as an undercover officer in the Squad, of his real name on his current police duties and on his family. 20 Feb 2018: directed that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of that month.^[4] Cover name released April 2018. Ruling of May 2018: real name restricted; application over cover name rejected.^[18] 26 Feb 2018: MPS submit application to restrict real name only.
HN80	Colin Clark	SDS undercover	1977 - 1982 deployed into Socialist Workers Party & Anti-Nazi League. 20 Feb 2018, directions issued that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of Feb 2018.^[4] Cover name and groups released 26 June 2018.^[40] Application made to restrict cover and real name (26 Feb 2018), published 9 July 2018^[26] which Mitting is minded to grant for the real name restriction.^[27] Minded to (March 2018):^[5] HN80 is a septuagenarian. HN80 was deployed as an undercover officer against one group in the late 1970s and early 1980s and encountered and reported on many others. The deployment is of significant interest to the Inquiry because of its length and range and because, according to HN80, it involved a good deal of self-tasking. Publication of the cover name of HN80 may prompt information or evidence from those who encountered HN80 during the deployment. Publication of the real name of HN80 is not necessary to permit the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference and would interfere with the right ofHN80 to respect for private and family life. HN80 has expressed fears, which do not appear to be objectively justified, about the risk of violence posed by former targets and their associates. I am prepared to accept that the fears are genuinely held. On the basis of what is t present known, it would be neither proportionate nor justified under article 8(2) of the European Convention to override those fears by refusing to make a restriction order in respect of the real name. 9 July 2018: directed that any objections to Mitting's intention to restrict the real name to be made by 20 July 2018.^[11] 30 July 2018: final ruling that real name cannot be published.^[12]
HN81 / N81	Dave Hagan	SDS undercover	1996-2001 targeted Socialist Workers Party, Class War, Movement Against the Monarchy and Movement for Justice. Referred to extensively in the Ellison Review in relation to the targeting of the family of Stephen Lawrence.
HN82	Nicholas Green	SDS undercover	Deployed 1982 to 1986 into Socialist Workers Party and Red Action.^[41] (Previously described as being deployed against two groups in 1980s, one of which said to be violent.) Deceased. Risk assessor finds no risk to safety of his widow, but she has expressed concern all the same, and 'feels' the risk is real. Mitting in his Minded-To of March 2018 indicates the real name shall be restricted while opportunity given to widow of HN82 to make a personal representation at a closed hearing about publication of cover name. Mitting not prepared to act on something vague, but given chance HN82's real name could be discovered via his cover name, the Chair is giving her a chance to make a representation at a closed hearing in respect of the cover name. A closed note also accompanies the open reasons provided in the Minded To.^[42] Subsequent to this, the Inquiry website at unknown date listed the cover name as 'to be published'. 8 Nov 2018: real name restricted.^[2] 13 Sept 2018: "On behalf of HN82's widow the opportunity to pursue a cover name restriction was declined." Application over real name made, with Mitting minded to grant it; open application will be published with date set for responses.^[19] 2 October 2018: the [1] applied for by the Metropolitan police to restrict HN82's real name was released,^[43] with a deadline for responses give as 23 October.^[44] 8 November 2018: Mitting ruled that the officer's real name will be restricted for the purposes of the Inquiry on the grounds it would not assist the Inquiry to get to the truth of his deployment and because of the harm to the widow it would cause.^[2] The Restriction Order published 23 Oct 2020.
HN83	restricted	SDS undercover & back office	Deployed against one group in mid-1980s; real and cover names restricted due to risk to officer's personal safety. Later in career did welfare work with SDS.

HN86	restricted	SDS undercover & manager	SDS undercover in late 1970s / early 1980s 'against groups whose principle activities during that time are outside the terms of reference of the Inquiry'. Later Det. Ch. Insp. in operational charge of the SDS for a period in 1990s, and temporary head of S Squad. Mentioned by Herne and Ellison, inlcuding in relation to spying on the Lawrence family. Mitting has ruled the real and cover names will be restricted.
HN87	unknown	SDS undercover	Deployed in 1980s/1990s. Real and cover names restricted for reasons which cannot be made public.^[9]^[12]
HN88	Timothy Spence	SDS undercover	1983-1987 infiltrated the Stoke Newington and Hackney Defence Campaign and the Hackney Campaign Against the Police Bill. Real name restricted.

HN90	Mark Kerry	SDS undercover	1988-1992 infiltrated Socialist Workers Party and City of London Anti-Apartheid Group.^[40] 20 Feb 2018, directions issued that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of Feb 2018.^[4] Application made to restrict real name (26 Feb 2018), published 9 July 2018^[26] which Mitting is minded to grant.^[27] March 2018: Mitting minded to publish cover name but restrict real name, writing:^[5] HN90 is a sexagenarian. HN90 was deployed into one group, after a short deployment in another, in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The deployment appears to have been unremarkable. The risk to the safety of HN90 arising out of it is nil or negligible. The deployment is, nevertheless, of significant interest to the Inquiry, for at least two reasons: it spanned the period during which the Cold War ended and the focus of undercover deployments may have changed; and it included reporting on Poll Tax demonstrations. Fulfilment of the terms of reference of the Inquiry requires that these issues are explored publicly and that those with whom HN90 may have interacted have the opportunity of providing information or evidence about the deployment... It does not require that the real name of HN90 is published. 9 July 2018: directed that any objections to Mitting's intention to restrict the real name to be made by 20 July 2018.^[11] 30 July 2018: final ruling that real name cannot be published.^[12]
HN91	restricted	SDS undercover	Deployed against two groups in last period of SDS. Neither group poses a threat, but the officer is currently serving in a 'valuable and sensitve role' so real or cover name are to be restricted.
HN95	Stefan Wesolowski	SDS undercover	1985-1988 deployed into Socialist Workers Party.^[45] Apr 2018: Mitting said he was minded-to refuse application to restrict real name, saying:^[45] His deployment was problematical and was terminated by his managers abruptly in 1988. He was medically retired soon after. Little or nothing is known about his current circumstances or concerns, save that it is believed he is aware of the attempts which have been made to contact him in connection with the Inquiry. If he is, he has not responded to them. The [MPS] has made an application for a restriction order in respect of his real name. The grounds of the application are generic. They do not identify the respects, if any, in which his right to respect for his private and family life would be infringed by publication of his real name, beyond referring to a paragraph in the risk assessment created on 27 February 2018 which is, itself, generic.... I am not willing to make a restriction order on Article 8 grounds without some good reason for believing that the right to respect for private and family life would be infringed if real or cover name were published. In the case of HN95, I have no such reason. Further, the real name of HN95 and the circumstances in which he came to join and leave the [SDS] are know to responsible journalists. The latter have been put into the public domain by them. I have no reason to believe that any attempt will be made to restrain publication of that which they know - the real name of HN95. In those circumstances, it would be futile to make a restriction order in respect of the real name. 11 Jan 2018, directed restriction orders application to be submitted by end of Jan 2018.^[28] Minded To (March 2018): application delayed.^[42] Apr 2018: Mitting orders that HN95 'should provide notification that they wish 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.^[46] No application was made to restrict the cover name, which will be published in due course. A response from HN95 to have real name restricted was recieved and went to a closed hearing.^[19] 30 July 2018: Mitting refuses to make ruling restricting real name of HN95.^[47] 12 March 2019: cover name released.^[48]
HN96	Michael James (alias)	SDS undercover	1978-1983 infiltrated the Socialist Workers Party & Troop Out Movement. Real name restricted.^[2]
HN97	restricted	SDS undercover	Deployed in 1980s into one group and reported on many others. Ruled that real and cover name will be restricted due to a risk to HN97 which cannot be made public.
HN99	to come	SDS management / back office	No application for restriction order made; real name to be published.^[17] No cover name.^[6]

-: HN90 is a sexagenarian. HN90 was deployed into one group, after a short deployment in another, in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The deployment appears to have been unremarkable. The risk to the safety of HN90 arising out of it is nil or negligible. The deployment is, nevertheless, of significant interest to the Inquiry, for at   least two reasons: it spanned the period during which theCold War ended and the focus of undercover deployments may have changed; and it included reporting on Poll Tax demonstrations. Fulfilment of the terms of reference of the Inquiry requires that these issues are explored publicly and that those with whom HN90 may have interacted have the opportunity of providing information or evidence about the deployment... It does not require that the real name of HN90 is published.

 :: The [MPS] has made an application for a restriction order in respect of his real name. The grounds of the application are generic. They do not identify the respects, if any, in which his right to respect for his private and family life would be infringed by publication of his real name, beyond referring to a paragraph in the risk assessment created on 27 February 2018 which is, itself, generic.... I am not willing to make a restriction order on Article 8 grounds without some good reason for believing that the right to respect for private and family life would be infringed if real or cover name were published. In the case of HN95, I have no such reason. Further, the real name of HN95 and the circumstances in which he came to join and leave the [SDS] are know to responsible journalists. The latter have been put into the public domain by them. I have no reason to believe that any attempt will be made to restrain publication of that which they know - the real name of HN95. In those circumstances, it would be futile to make a restriction order in respect of the real name.
