National Police Chiefs’ Council lead on digital intelligence and investigations, Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh responds to the latest techUK report which calls on police and industry to work together to tackle cyber crime.
“New technology is a game-changer for policing and society at large. As the report makes clear, we need to transform our approach to online crime and ensure we protect all members of the public, including the most vulnerable, from harm.
“This is a significant challenge at a time when police resources are coming under increased pressure and demand on the wider service is evolving. However, we have a clear strategy and are working closely alongside partners to build the skills, knowledge and capabilities needed for a successful digital future.”
