ACPO response to Home Affairs Select Committee (HASC) report on e-crime

National policing lead on e-crime Deputy Chief Constable Peter Goodman said:

“The police service, like the other agencies that are working to combat e-crime, is continually adapting to meet the threat.

“There is absolutely more to do but we are committed to protecting victims and preventing this form of crime as well as targeting offenders.

“The ACPO e-crime strategy will drive forward further improvements in this area including increasing the number of regional e-crime hubs. These hubs have been successful in improving our regional capability and response times as well as supporting the work of the Police Central e-Crime Unit. We are continuing to work with College of Policing to ensure that there is mainstream cyber awareness and capabilities across the service to support the work done by specialist officers.”
