Whether you've been affected personally by the police spies, represent those directly affected, are investigating political policing practices or simply want to know more, the new database can help: spycopsresearch.info
Spycops Reseach
The SpycopsResearch.info database is an Undercover Research Group project. It aims to make the material released during the Undercover Policing Inquiry (UCPI) accessible for all.

Additionally, you will find detailed individual profiles of all the undercover officers deployed from 1968 to 1972 and their managers, as well as short pages on the groups they spied on up to 1982. This is just the beginning: SpycopsResearch.info will be updated on an ongoing basis.

They have now launched spycopsresearch.info, presenting their research on the first phase of the Inquiry as a user-friendly website.

This soft launch covers the early period of spying, 1968-1982 (Tranche One) and contains all documents from this period in the searchable Document Database.

A public inquiry into the scandal was announced in 2014 long after activists exposed how undercover police officers had infiltrated their movements. However the inquiry is still shrouded in secrecy. The Undercover Research Group has worked to reveal, monitor and analyse political policing in the UK.
New website, Spycopsresearch.info, from Undercover Research Group.

For over 40 years, the British state secretly placed more than 100 long-term undercover officers into scores of political groups to spy on them and their members, and to subvert their campaigns.

Research shows that segregated education costs more, and reinforces discriminatory attitudes and behaviours which affect society as a whole.

ALLFIE’s 2024 manifesto calls for an end to segregated education and mandatory Inclusive Education training nationwide.
