Tightening the net
The City of London Police, the National Lead force for fraud, contributed to the assessment conducted by the London Assembly in the lead up to the release of today’s report entitled ‘Tightening the net’ which looked at the Metropolitan Police’s response to online theft and fraud.
The report found that an increasing amount of crime has a cyber or online dimension to it which creates a challenge to all police forces, requiring proactive strategies to engage with local communities and businesses to raise education and awareness of the work already being delivered by Action Fraud and National Fraud Intelligence Bureau.
