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 3)

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 <100, see N officers part 1.
For N officers with numbers 100 - 299, see N officers part 2.
For N officers with numbers 400 and higher, see N officers part 4.

Application made over real name. Mitting in his 'Minded To' Nov 2017, indicated he would restrict the real name, on the grounds it would cause distress to HN331's widow):^[10] HN331’s death caused his widow to suffer an acute mental illness, for which she received in-patient treatment. She did not remarry. She is now in her 70s and suffers from the early stages of dementia. According to her son, she has been deeply affected by the possibility that HN331’s identity might be revealed in the course of the Inquiry. No useful purpose would be served by publication of HN331’s real name. Given the nature of his deployment and the elapse of time since it occurred, it is inconceivable that it would prompt evidence from others about his deployment. His widow and surviving family are entitled to be left in peace. May 2018: Mitting ruled the real name would be restricted and declined to disclose at this stage the groups that were infiltrated by HN331.^[11]

Nov 2017: Mitting minded to restrict publication of real name to avoid distress to HN338's widow, who had recently lost an immediate family member, with Mitting saying 'I accept the [MPS] submission that nothing should be done which risks causing her further distress'.^[10] May 2018: ruling made to restrict real name with Mitting stated he was declined to disclose at this stage the groups that were infiltrated by HN338.^[11]

-:: Publication of his cover name, which will occur, is all that is required to prompt evidence from those who encountered him in his undercover role, if they have any to give. Publication of his real name is unnecessary. It would also be a disproportionate and unjustified interference in his and his family’s right to respect for their private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention. It would not be difficult to trace him if his real name were published. His family circumstances, which are fully set out in his impact statement, require that there should be no avoidable interference in them, even of a kind produced only by publicity resulting from legitimate media interest.
-In his ruling, Mitting repeated his earlier arguments & added that HN301 is in his 70s.

+| Deployed undercover in 1970s. Admits to 'fleeting sexual encounter'. Real and cover names to be restricted as there is a risk to HN302's safety.  Appeared as 'Brian' in ''True Spies''.
-: The nature of the deployment was such as to create a real risk to the safety of HN302. To an extent whcih cannot be precisely quantified, that risk remains. Because it is contingent, it does not engage Articles 2 or 3 of the Convention, but if it were to mature the harm to HN302 would be serious, possibly even lethal.
-: The right of [the person in the sexual encounter] to know the identify of HN302 is outweighed by the risk of safety of HN302.

-:  I accept the submission that a "proper investigation ought not to assume that it (the officer's admission of a fleeting sexual encounter) is necessarily correct". However, I cannot, at this stage of the Inquiry undertake such an investigation. No is it necessary to do so, because the reason for the order which I will make is the existence of a real risk to the safety fo HN302. I do not accept the further submission that I should enquire into and, it seems, determine whether or not a criminal offence was committed: to do so would require me to infringe section 2(1) of the Inquiries Act.

Given the nature of his deployment and the elapse of time since it occurred, it is inconceivable that it would prompt evidence from others about his deployment. His widow and surviving family are entitled to be left in peace.

-Nov 2017 'Minded-To': restrict real name. Mitting stated:<ref name="mitting.mindedto2.14Nov17"/>
-:: HN332 is in his eighties and in poor health. The Inquiry has been provided with a short medical report itemising the serious medical conditions from which he suffers, including one which is life-threatening. His daughter has provided a witness statement in which she says that he suffers from a very poor memory and from confusion. It must, therefore, be unlikely that he could provide useful evidence to the Inquiry.
-:: He served in the Special Operations Squad/Special Demonstration Squad in a managerial capacity in the 1970’s. He was the signatory of a significant memorandum dated 17 December 1971. But for his age and health, I would have refused the application for a restriction order in respect of his real name, on the basis that a senior public servant should be willing and, if not, required, to account for his actions publicly. For the reasons explained, no useful purpose would be served by adopting that course; and to do so would risk impairing the peace of mind and even health of a man in his twilight years. I am minded to make a restriction order which will be in place during his life.

-Mitting indicated in his August 2017 that he was Minded-To restrict publishing both real and cover names, stating:<ref name="ucpi.mitting.mindedto.3Aug17"/>
-::"If his cover name were to be disclosed, it is very unlikely that it would prompt evidence from one or more members of the target group which would assist the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference. It would also be unlikely to prompt a threat to his personal safety or to that of his family. There is, however, a small – in my judgement, very small – risk that if his cover name were to be associated with the valuable duties which he performed subsequent to his deployment, he would be of interest to those who might pose such a threat. The nature of that risk is set out more fully in the closed reasons which accompany this note."
-The application on the real name was heard at the hearing of 21 November 2017,<ref name="ucpi.hearing.transcript.21Nov17"/> with Mitting ruling in favour of restricting the real name on 5 December.<ref name="ucpi.ruling.5Dec17"/> The [https://www.ucpi.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/20171208-restriction-order-HN333.pdf Restriction Order] was released on 8 December 2017.
-In making his ruling, Mitting wrote:<ref name="ucpi.ruling.5Dec17"/>
-:: There is not and never has been any known allegation of misconduct against him. No real threat to his personal safety or that of his family would arise from surviving members or associates of his target group. Subsequent to his deployment, he performed valuable duties in another police role. There is a real, if unquantifiable, risk that if hsi cover name were to be published, it would lead to the identification of his real name. In those circumstances, a very small risk to life and limb woudl arise from those with an interest in his later activities.
-These risks were set out in closed reasons. Mitting also relied on that the 'deployment was short and appears to have been unremarkable', and that other officers could give evidence on similar deployments in the early days of the SDS. Mitting also went ont to say:<ref name="ucpi.ruling.5Dec17"/>
-:: Further, this is a case in which the expectation of lifetime confidentiality held by HN333 is a relevant factor. he was entitled to rely upon it when he undertook the valuable duties which gave rise to the very small risk to his safety.

-:: Since leaving the Metropolitan Police Service, he has worked in a variety of jobs and is still working. Publication of his real name would risk impairing his current source of income. It would also serve no useful purpose. It would involve some interference with his right to respect for private life under Article 8... in the right to disclose his true identity for purposes of his choosing and to withhold disclosure for other purposes. Although the interference would not be great, it would be disproportionate to any end which it would serve, principally to permit the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference. Accordingly, it would not be justified under Article 8(2).

-:: He is said to be concerned about the physical safety of himself and his family if his real name were to be published and is concerned about the risk of media intrusion and the impact which this might have on his family. The latter concern is not irrational. In the unlikely event that any member of the group targeted who is still living may be prompted into giving evidence about his deployment, publication of his cover name, which will occur, will provide that prompt. Publication of his real name would serve no useful purpose. The infringement of his right to respect for his private and family life and that of his family would not be justified under Article 8 (2) of the European Convention. A closed note accompanies these reasons.

-| SDS UCO; currently in his 70s; served with Special Operations Squad undercover for about a year in early 1970s; took a cover name but did not use the name of a deceased child; did not create a legend. According to Mitting:<ref name="ucpi.mitting.HNRuling6.22Mar2018"/>
+| Deployed for about a year in early 1970s against anarchist groups in what appears to be an unsuccessful deployment.
-:: He attempted to infiltrate anarchist groups by attending meetings, but failed to do so. He decided that undercover police work was not for him, and with the consent of his superior officers, left the field.
-February 2018, directions issued for any application for restriction orders to be submitted by end of February 2018.<ref name="ucpi.dir.20Feb18"/> March 2018, Mitting indicated that there was a small chance his real name could be identified if his cover name was published, and that it 'is very unlikely his deployment needs to be investigated at all to permit the Inquiry to fulfil its terms of reference.' Thus, given the chance he and his family would be subject of media attention, Mitting is minded to withhold both real and cover names.<ref name="ucpi.mitting.HNRuling6.22Mar2018"/>
-Ruling of May 2018:<ref name="mitting.ruling.15May18"/>
-: In this case, for the purpose of determining his application for a restriction order I have accepted that his account of his failed attempt to infiltrate anarchist groups by attending meetings is unlikely to be contradicted. It is not, as Ms Kaufmann puts it, "the police position". For the purpose of determining applications for restriction orders in respect of names, I must sometimes make a judgement about whether or not what I ahve been told is likely to be true. I cannot conduct a full inquiry into the facts before making that judgement. This is such a case.

Mitting: deployment unremarkable and unlikely to have given rise to personal misconduct by HN355. Cover name would be released if it was not for the following issue: that HN355 has adult children; one of whom is mentally unstable, as well as politically committed and active - if that child discovers their father's role it would destroy their relationship, which that child's ability to function as a normal adult depends. No medical evidence supports this, due to confidentiality reasons. Mitting accepts that what HN355 is telling him is true and not exaggerated, and: 'On that basis, the public interest in maximising the chance of obtaining evidence from those against whom HN355 was deployed is outweighed by the need to protect the personal integrity of [HN355's child]'.<ref name="mitting.mindedto8.26Apr2018"/>
