Police Spied on Community Group for Decade
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Undercover police officers secretly monitored a community organization in East London for a decade, according to a public inquiry. The Hackney Community Defence Association (HCDA) worked to expose wrongdoing and corruption within the Metropolitan Police, helping victims of police violence take legal action and uncover evidence of a major alleged corruption scandal. The Metropolitan Police has now conceded that it was wrong for senior officers to direct undercover agents to spy on the HCDA, acknowledging that the group was engaged in legitimate activities.
