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 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]

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 300 to 399, see N officers part 3.
For N officers with numbers 400 and higher, see N officers part 4.

Updated 21 July 2018; further details of restriction order applications, etc. can be found under individual officer pages where linked.

His statement to Op. Herne is quoted in Ellison (p.212): "[Mr Francis] was targeted towards the campaign in the same way as today… to perform a dual role of protecting the family from malicious extremist influences and providing information about potential public order issues. The anti-police sentiment on the streets was palpable, and Territorial Policing was very interested in any potential or planned disorder…" N129 believes that he was directly tasked to get involved with the campaign, although not necessarily with the family. His role was not about ‘smearing’ at all.^[2]
HN135 / Mike Ferguson	restricted	SDS undercover	Infiltrated anti-apartheid campaigners including the 'Stop the Seventy' campaign - 1969-1970. Real name given in True Spies series. 20 March 2018, directed that any anonymity applications applications were to be filed by 28 March 2018 by MPS legal team, or 6 April for the Designated Lawyers team.^[12] April 2018: closed hearing to take place.^[13] July & Sept 2018: 'further investigation necessary befor application to restrict the cover name can be determined.

Minded-To (March 2018): real name cannot be published; cover name to be published.^[25] Details released 17 July 2018.^[26] 13 Sept 2018: open application to be published re application to restrict real name.^[3] Currently in 70s. Deployment apparently unremarkable. Mitting: no reason to publish real name; and HN200 and wife are concerned about media intrusion.^[25] 20 February 2018, directions issued for any application for restriction orders to be submitted by 26 & 28 February 2018 for MPS and Designated Lawyers Team respectively.^[27] 2 October 2018: the [1] applied for by the Metropolitan police to restrict HN200's real name was released,^[28] with a deadline for responses of 23 October.^[29] It was also released that after his time in the SDS, HN200 held 'a senior management role within the MPS'.^[30] 8 Nov 2018: real name restricted, with Mitting noting:^[31] The senior management role held by HN 200 in the MPS did not involve him, directly or indirectly, in the management or oversight of the SOS. My acknowledgement of the public interest in senior managers being accountable in their real name was confined to those with responsibilities of that kind. The Restriction order was made public on 23 October 2020.^[32]^[33]
HN204	to come	SDS back office / manager	No anonymity application made,^[1] so real name to be published in due course.^[11]
HN216 / N216	to come	SDS management. Responsible for day-to-day running of the unit in the 1990s.	Minded-to (Nov 2017): application for restriction order in respect of real name to be refused with Mitting writing:^[21] The evidence which he can give about the management of the Special Demonstration Squad is potentially significant. There is no known allegation of misconduct against him. He has identified no plausible risk to the safety or welfare of himself or his family beyond the possibility of unwelcome media attention if his whereabouts were to be traced. This is a real risk, but it is outweighed by the legitimate interest which the public has in his performance of his duty in a senior and responsible public office. The starting presumption that evidence given by such a person about such duties should be given publicly and in his own name is not displaced. Closed reasons accompany the note. July 2018: both MPS Commissioners lawyers and Designated Legal Team 'have indicated they do not want to pursue the application', so the Minded To decision of Nov 2017 becomes the final ruling, and real name will be published.^[6] Expressed outrage at Peter Francis allegations (Herne II, 21.1.14) and stated in respect of the targeting of Duwayne Brooks (Herne 24.1.13): 'SDS activity targeting individuals in a public order context may have brought certain officers into contact with, or in the close proximity of Duwayne Brooks, but, if that did happen, this would not have been in response to the murder investigation, or any connection with the family'.^[34]
HN217	to come	SDS back office	No application made so real name will be published; no cover name.^[6]
HN218 / N218	Barry Moss a.k.a Barry Morris	SDS undercover and manager	Deployed 1968 into Vietnam Solidarity Campaign.^[35] Cover name and real name to be published as no restriction order application made.^[23] Cover name released May 2018.^[35] Later became manager of the SDS and Comamnder of Special Branch. Herne II, para. 25.1.2 states: The MPS Director of Intelligence in 1999 has been interviewed by Operation Herne and stated, 'I have been asked if I recall 'any Special Branch plans to mislead the Macpherson Inquiry' into the death of Stephen Lawrence. For part of this time, I was head of Special Branch operations and have no recollection of any such plans.’ Peter Francis has alleged that N218 came out to see him in respect of withholding information from the Macpherson Inquiry. In interview, N218 stated that this meeting or request never happened.^[34]
HN241	restricted	SDS undercover	Deployed into one group in 1970s. Ruling (20 Feb 2018): real and cover names to be restricted.^[22] No allegation of misconduct. Arrested but not charged on one occasion.^[36]
HN221	to come	SDS back office	No application made so real name will be published; no cover name.^[6]
HN244	to come	SDS back office / manager	Full extent of restriction order being sought unknown; extension sought for MPS to supply this application (Nov 2017).^[23] No application made so real name will be published; no cover name (July 2018).^[6]
HN268	unknown	SDS back office	No application to restrict real name made,^[37] so real name to be given 'when evidence relating to them is published before hearings'.^[38] No cover name.^[6]
N275	unknown	Det. Ch. Insp. in last period of unit	Critical of record retention and note-taking in the SDS (Ellison, pages 198 & 201).^[2] Role as DCI, heading the SDS in its last period and role in its closure is discussed in risk assessment of HN30.^[39]
HN294	cover name lost	SDS undercover and manager	Deployed 1968-1969 into a group that no longer exists, and reported on others. Held a managerial position in the SDS 1969-1974. Deceased. Real name restricted.
HN296	Geoff Wallace	SDS undercover	Deployed into Socialist Workers Party from 1975 to 1978 (details released 4 June 2019);^[40] no known allegation of misconduct against him. Currently in late 60s. ^[41] Ruling (Mar 2018): real name to be restricted.^[42] 15 Jan 2018: 'Minded-to' grant restriction order over real name; no application in relation to cover name which will be published in due course.^[43] He does not live in the UK but is willing to cooperate with the Inquiry.^[43] 13 Sept 2018: open application to restrict real name will be published once the cover name has been released.^[3] Real name anonymity application made 24 Nov 2017 - made public 24 July 2019, with directions for objections to be made by 29 Aug 2019. A gist of additional information is that following his SDS deployment 'he worked on squads within Special Branch that would have used intelligence generated by the SDS' 29 October 2019: Mitting rules against making a restriction order over the officers real name, writing:^[24] The specific reasons advanced in paragraph 11 of the written note submitted on behalf of the NPNSCP’s dated 14 September 2019 are speculative. I have no reason to believe that there were any “potentially important links between his covert work and his subsequent role” or that there is any evidence of significance which can be given about the latter by him or by others. The Restriction order was made public on 23 October 2020.^[44]^[45]
HN297	Richard Clarke a.k.a. Rick Gibson	SDS undercover	Infiltrated Troop Out Movement 1974-1976 and tasked to infiltrate Big Flame - discovered and confronted by them in 1976. Multiple sexual relationships. Deceased.

 {{UCPI_sidebar|Name=N Officers list|Description=A list of N &amp; 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 (accessed 3 August 2017).</ref>

-According to their Risk Assessment: HN109 was offered a position in the SDS having come to the attention of a senior SDS manager; HN109 did not recall any formal interiview. The senior SDS manager and other undercovers provided the direction and advice for constructing their infiltration legend. Aware of the 'Tradecraft dcoument'. Does not recall anything specifically mentioned regarding anonymity but believed it was 'implied by what they did and how they went about their tasks'. HN109 also said that the group targeted contained violent elements, inclduding where 'violence was enacted against an informant' - though the risk assessor could not corroborate this example. HN109 also denied entering into any relationships and stated that relationships were no permitted, and the risk assessor said no documented intelligence to suggest that the undercover was involved in any inappropriate sexual relationship. When they returned to the SDS as a manager running operational aspects of SDS work. Has also worked in other sensitive roles in the police and did a role with public exposure.<ref name="HN109.RA">Adrian Baxter, [https://www.ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/20180302-HN109-Open_risk_assessment_final.pdf HN109 Open risk assessment], ''Metropolitan Police Service'', 26 February 2018 (accessed via ucpi.org.uk).</ref>

-: N109 had particular concerns that some of the UCOs with whom N109 worked during the managerial role in the SDS may be hostile towards N109. H109 described stress caused to N109 and N109's partner as a result of this perceived hostility.

-: Other SDS officers could identify N109, and N109 believes that these officers may "out" N109. The Risk Assessor assesses that N109 would be "high on the list" of thos officers, should they wish to "out" their colleagues... This could render discussion abuot protecting N109's identify academic.

+| ''to come''
-: The Risk Assessor considers that there is little evidence to support the contention that N109 would be in physical danger if N109's real identity was known. The Risk Assessor would therefore assess the probability in this category as 'very low' - the probability of the risk occuring is considered unlikely.

-: The media are however, more likely to take greater interest in N109 should N109 be named, owing to N109's dual role as an operative and manager of the SDS. As a manager N109 dealt with some difficult nominals, and oversaw a disciplinary procedure.
-Thus, if his real name was revealed:<ref name="HN109.RA"/>
-: N109's view is that media intrusion would be devastating to N109's children. The Risk Assessor agreed that tehre is a rsik of media intrusion for N109's children but felt it would not be too negative or as impactive as N109 fears, and explains why. The Risk Assessor would therefore assess teh impact in this category as serious (4). This presents a major impact on teh welfare of the officer. In terms of their family and personal life it would require major readjustments to their lifestyle, significantly adversely impacting on their personal lives.
-HN109 also stated that during his time as a manager, there was an 'appetite for supervision', and that they were:<ref name="HN109.RA"/>
-: made responsible for ensuring compliance with regard to teh regulatory framework governing operations of numerous UCOs, including those of interest to the Inquiry.... N109's position was that there is a lateral risk to N109 from some of those managed. The risk assessor also identified some lateral risk where none was declared by N109....
-:N109 had managerial issues with a number of nominals, including a specified officer and others of interest to the Inquiry.
-HN109 stated:<ref name="hn109.ImpState.30Nov2017"/>
-: I believe that I had an unremarkable deployment. I had no sexual relationships. I was never arrested in my cover identity nor did I appear in Court in my cover name. I do not believe that my deployment led to any miscarriage of justice allegation.
-: While I do nto recall any express promise of confidentiality made to me when I joined the SDS, the very set up of the SDS, its functions, and the step taken to protect our real and cover identities meant that anonymity was very much part of the process. I certainly always understood that my identify would not be revealed. This included when I returned as a manager.
-: I would not have undertaken the role or gone on to do subsequent roles if I had been aware that my identity would not have been protected by the State.
-then later in the statement:<ref name="hn109.ImpState.30Nov2017"/>
-: I particularly invite the Inquiry to note the fact that my role as a manager included addressing concerns which caused issues with some of the officers in role at the time.
-Interview by Operation Herne quoted in Ellison Review: "There was never any reference made to ‘smearing’ in relation to the Lawrence family. Deployments into the support campaigns surrounding Stephen Lawrence were specifically to build a picture of the public order background… Any meeting I was involved in was never about any family member. It was done to protect the family" (Ellison, p.211).<ref name="ellison.1"/>

-: The threat posed to his physical safety by former members of the group and/or sympathisers is nil or neglible. He will, however, inevitably be the subject of unwelcome media attention and is understanably concerned about the impact which that will have on his wife. But for the facts refered to below, I would have made a restriction order in respect of hsi real name, to avoid unnecessary infringement of the right of HN155 and his wife to respect for their private and family life.
-: The real name of HN155 is known to responsible journalists, who have written to him in that name. Publication of it by them from information already in their possession would not infringe any restriction order... if made. I am not minded to make futile orders. Hence the need for oral submissions from those with an interest in this issue.
