 (b) otherwise—identify the person.
 (2C) If the chief officer of the authorising agency is of the view that disclosing the identity of a person may:
 (a) endanger the safety of the person; or
 (b) prejudice an investigation or prosecution;
then the person is sufficiently identified for the purposes of paragraphs (2A)(b) and (2B)(b) if the person is identified:
 (c) by an assumed name under which the person is operating; or
 (d) by a code name or code number;
as long as the chief officer can match the assumed name, code name or code number to the person's identity.
 (3) The Ombudsman may require the chief officer of an authorising agency to give additional information covering any controlled operation to which a report relates.
 (4) Nothing in paragraphs (2)(o) to (t) requires particulars of a controlled operation to be included in a report for a period of 6 months if the operation had not been completed during that period, but the particulars must instead be included in the report for the period of 6 months in which the operation is completed.
