Place-names in the index are often followed by sub-headings indicating particular topics.

  • Counsel to the Inquiry's Opening Statement
    UNDERCOVER POLICING INQUIRY ___________________________________________________________________ COUNSEL TO THE INQUIRY’S OPENING STATEMENT Contents Part 1 – Overview Part 2 – Tranche 1 Phase 1 Appendix 1 – Groups reported on by the SDS as set out in the Annual Reports 1969 to 1974s Appendix 2 – Phase 1 undercover officers and Phase 1 managers PART 1 – OVERVIEW Introduction 1. This Inquiry has been set up as a result of profound and wide-ranging concerns arising from the activities of two undercover police units. First, the Special Demonstration Squad (“the SDS”) which existed between 1968 and 2008. Second, the undercover element of the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (“the NPOIU”) which existed between 1999 and 2010. Our terms of reference are wide enough to encompass all undercover policing by English and Welsh police forces in England and Wales since 1968 but we shall be concentrating primarily upon the activities of these two units. 2. It has emerged that, for decades, undercover police officers infiltrated a significant number of political and other activist groups in deployments which typically lasted for years. The information reported by these undercover police officers was extensive. It covered the activities of the groups in question and their members. It also extended to the groups and individuals with whom they came into contact, including elected representatives. Reporting covered not only the political or campaigning activities of those concerned but other aspects of their personal lives. Groups mainly on the far left but also the far right of the political spectrum were infiltrated as well as groups campaigning for social, environmental or other change.
