While the 40-year old Special Demonstrations Squad (SDS) was disbanded five years ago their role continued under another "hat" (NPOIU) and has now been moved to yet another "hat" (NDEDIU) as the government recognises:

"The issues around the management of the National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU) by ACPO were raised in last year's report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, following which the management of the NPOIU moved from ACPO to the Metropolitan Police Service, where it was absorbed into the National Domestic Extremism and Disorder Intelligence Unit."
