This is an excerpt from a profile last updated in 2016. The full profile can be found here: https://powerbase.info/index.php/Rod_Richardson as well as links to further articles. He is due to give evidence in 2026. An updated profile will appear here.
EN32 'Rod Richardson' was an NPOIU undercover officer who infiltrated the environmental, anarchist and animal rights movement and was active between 1999 and 2003 in Essex, London and Nottingham. In February 2013, he was unmasked on Indymedia UK and in The Guardian as an undercover officer. On 15th December 2016, the Undercover Policing Inquiry released a statement confirming he had been a Metropolitan Police officer and that he had worked for the National Public Order Intelligence Unit.
It is notable that he disappeared just before Mark Kennedy appeared in the same activist circles, and that both based themselves mainly in Nottingham and London. This has led to speculation that Rod was active in preparing the way for Kennedy.
He is the most recent known user of a deceased child's identity as part of his cover story.
