EN officers
This article is part of the Undercover Research Portal at Powerbase: investigating corporate and police spying on activists.
Officers of the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU) are for the purposes of the Undercover Policing Inquiry designated by the cipher EN. Officers were in early parts of the process simply designated by N followed by a number. As the number of officers grew, this changed to HN for those offficers of the Special Demonstration Squad, the H representing Operation Herne, the corresponding police investigation. As the role of the NPOIU officers in the Undercover Policing Inquiry was taken on by the National Police Chief Council's Operation Elter, the EN cipher was adopted for them.[1] For more details see under [N officers].
This page lists the known EN numbers and material relating to them. Separate pages have been provided for the HN numbers.
