Undercover
Policing Inquiry
SDS undercover list
Description: A list of all publicly known officers who served undercover with the Special Demonstration Squad, 1968-2008

This page carries a full list of publicly identified undercover police officers who served with the Special Demonstration Squad, their anonymity status within the Undercover Policing Inquiry, and with links to profiles were done. For a more comprehensive list of all N/HN officers in Operation Herne, Ellisor Review and the Undercover Policing Inquiry see the N officers page.

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]

N40 restricted SDS undercover Undercover in last decade of the unit.[7] 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).[8]

HN44 Darren Prowse SDS undercover Tasked to infiltrate the British National Party in 2007.[9]

20 Feb 2018, directions issued that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of Feb 2018.[10] Application made to restrict real name 26 Feb 2018 (published 9 July 2018[11]) which Mitting is minded to grant.[12]

Mitting wrote (March 2018):[13]

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 ill occur, is all that is required to prompt them to do so. Publication of his real name would give rise to a eal 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.[14] 30 July 2018: final ruling that name cannot be published.[6]

HN45 Dave 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
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. Ruled that neither real or cover names can be released by the Inquiry.
HN56 Alan 'Nick' Nicholson SDS undercover 1990-1991 targeted British National Party.[15]
HN58 restricted SDS undercover & manager DCI in charge of SDS 1997 - 2001. Real and cover names to be restricted.

20 Feb 2018, directions issued that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of Feb 2018.[10]

9 July 2018: directed that any objections to Mitting's intention to restrict the real name to be made by 20 July 2018.[14]

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 embers 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.[13]

30 July 2018: final ruling that real and cover names cannot be published.[6]

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.[17] In 60s.

HN66 is the same as the NPOIU officer EN327.[18]

HN67 Alan Bond SDS undercover & manager 1981- 86 infiltrated Socialist Workers Party.[19] Admits to having a 'fleeting sexual encounter in his cover name with one woman who was not a member of his target group'. Later second in command of SDS for three years in 1990s. Real name restricted
HN68 Sean Lynch SDS undercover & manager 1968-74 infiltrated Vietnam Solidarity Campaign, Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association, Irish Civil Rights Solidarity Campaign and Sinn Féin (London). Held managerial position in SDS 1982-84. Deceased.
HN71 restricted SDS undercover Deployed against two groups in 1990s and 2000s / last 15 years of the existence of the SDS.[20]
HN72 restricted SDS undercover and manager 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 Lawrence family. Real and cover names 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 names 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'.[3][4][6]
HN77 Jaqueline "Jackie" Anderson SDS undercover 2000-2005 infiltrated Reclaim the Streets, Earth First! and the WOMBLES.
HN78 Anthony "Bobby" Lewis SDS undercover 1991 - 1995 deployed into Socialist Workers Party & Anti-Nazi League.[21]

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).[8][22]

Minded to (March 2018):[13]

HN78 is a sexagenarian. HN78 was deployed into two or three groups in the early 1990s. HN78 admits to a relationship with a member of the opposite sex during the deployment. The Inquiry must investigate deployments into these groups, including that of HN78... Further, members of the target groups must have the opportunity to give evidence about the deployment of HN78. To do that, they will need to know the cover name.

Decision to restrict real name but publish cover name reiterated on 6 June 2018, when Mitting wrote:[23]

I repeat the reasons set out in the "minded to" note 6 dated 22 March 2018. Further, HN78 has now provided a detailed personal statement in support of the application for a restriction order in respect of the cover name. It provides information about the reasons for the deployments referred to in paragraph 20 of "minded to" note 6, which must be explored in public. It is also necessary that the cover name of HN78 is published, to permit members of the target groups to provide evidence about the deployments and their own activities.
The reasons for the ruling are those set out in the closed note referred to in paragraph 21 of "minded to" note 6 and in the closed note which accompanies this ruling.

20 Feb 2018: directed that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of that month.[10]

HN79 Ross 'RossCo' MacInnes SDS undercover 2007 tasked against the United British Alliance.

22 Mar 2018: minded to: restrict real name, and noted:[13]

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.[10] Cover name released April 2018. Ruling of May 2018: real name restricted; application over cover name rejected.[24]

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.[10] Cover name and groups released 26 June 2018.[25] Application made to restrict cover and real name (26 Feb 2018), published 9 July 2018[11] which Mitting is minded to grant for the real name restriction.[12]

Minded to (March 2018):[13]

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.[14]

30 July 2018: final ruling that real name cannot be published.[6]

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.[26] (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.[27] Subsequent to this, the Inquiry website at unknown date listed the cover name as 'to be published'.

HN90 Mark Kerry SDS undercover 1988-1992 infiltrated Socialist Workers Party and City of London Anti-Apartheid Group.[25]

20 Feb 2018, directions issued that applications for restriction orders to be submitted by end of Feb 2018.[10] Application made to restrict real name (26 Feb 2018), published 9 July 2018[11] which Mitting is minded to grant.[12]

March 2018: Mitting minded to publish cover name but restrict real name, writing:[13]

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.[14] 30 July 2018: final ruling that real and cover names cannot be published.[6]

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.[29]

Apr 2018: Mitting said he was minded-to refuse application to restrict real name, saying:[29]

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.

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.[8] There is a strong probablility that N218 is former Special Branch commander Barry Moss.

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):[7]

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.[24]
