The inquiry has revealed Mr Coles authored the Special Demonstration Squad's ‘tradecraft manual,’ a document offering advice for officers in long-term covert deployments infiltrating activist groups
A TORY councillor is under renewed pressure to resign tonight after the spycops inquiry confirmed that he had served as an undercover copper.
Andy Coles resigned as Cambridgeshire’s deputy police commissioner when he was publicly outed last year but he continues to serve on Peterborough City Council and the governing boards of two local schools.
He has repeatedly refused to comment on his past and did not respond to the Star’s request for comment today.
