In the summer of 2005 the United Kingdom experienced the most devastating events
ever witnessed in the capital as Extremist Terrorist suicide bombers attacked the
iconic London public transport system. As a result of the Coroner’s Inquest and
Independent Police Complaints Commission recommendations a learning package
has been produced and delivered by Adrian Moore, a UK covert officer who was
directly involved in the Police Operation which took place on the 22nd July.
Presentation Aims
This presentation is an honest, self-reflective delivery, giving a first-hand account from the covert operatives’ viewpoint. It is a
detailed synopsis and is fully inclusive of the intelligence, strategy, decision making, operational deployment and key stages of
the events of the police operation “The manhunt for a suicide terrorist cell.”
It includes the post incident management and welfare of staff concerned in traumatic events in order to assist others in
understanding the personal challenges likely to be encountered. Designed to share the significant and valuable lessons learned
in order to ensure that post inquiry recommendations are met and that others will benefit from the specialist knowledge of those
directly involved.
The overall aim to promote best practice, achieve working safely and successfully within a covert environment and to promote
