Home Office to launch ‘British FBI’ to deal with serious crime UK-wide
AI Summary
The UK Home Office will launch a National Police Service (NPS), often called the "British FBI," to centralize the handling of serious crimes like organized crime, terrorism, fraud, and online child abuse across England and Wales. This new national agency aims to consolidate resources and expertise, currently distributed among agencies like the National Crime Agency and regional units. The NPS will deploy advanced technology and specialized personnel, allowing local police forces to focus on local crimes. The NPS will incorporate counter-terrorism policing, the National Police Air Service, and national roads policing. A national police commissioner will lead the NPS, setting standards, training, and acquiring technology for all police forces. The goal is to modernize policing and improve the response to complex, nationwide criminal activity.
