Details

Serious and organised crime is a major threat to the national security and prosperity of the UK. It costs lives, blights communities, hampers economic growth, causes financial loss to individuals, businesses and the state and corrodes the global reputation of the UK and its institutions.

This strategy is founded on the growing threat from serious and organised crime and how we expect it to develop in the next 5 years.

Our mission is to reduce serious and organised crime in the UK, using the full reach and power of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies in partnership with the private sector and communities.

We will do that by disrupting and dismantling the organised crime groups operating in and against the UK.

We will achieve this through an end-to-end response with 5 lines of action:

  • in-country
  • UK border
  • international
  • technology and capabilities
  • multi-agency response
