Police

Two undercover policing units – the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) and the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU) – have particular prominence for the Inquiry; however, other units across England and Wales also fall within its general remit.

SDS

The SDS was a covert unit that existed within the Metropolitan Police Service between 1968 and 2008.

Cover names

To date, the Inquiry has released the cover names of 69 undercover officers from the SDS. This is to enable members of the public to determine whether they were affected by undercover policing and come forward with evidence.

As with all participants in the Inquiry, officers have the right to request anonymity through a restriction order.

Cover names not subject to a restriction order continue to be published by the Inquiry once pre-publication checks have concluded.

NPOIU

The NPOIU was set up around 1986, originally as the Animal Rights National Index. Around 2010, it merged with two other units to become the National Domestic Extremism Unit.

Four NPOIU officers did not pursue applications to restrict their cover names, and they have already been identified on the Inquiry website: “Mark Stone”/Mark Kennedy, “Lynn Watson”, “Rod Richardson” and “Marco Jacobs”.

Anonymity applications from the police
