PCeU - Police Central e-crime Unit

I am a Deputy Assistant Commissioner in the Specialist Crime Directorate (SCD) within the Metropolitan Police Service. In this capacity I act as the Director of Operations and Tasking for SCD in relation to major and serious crime matters such as Homicide, Drugs, Child Abuse, Economic Crime, Covert Policing, Shootings, Operation Trident and the Met Intelligence Bureau.

In April 2008 I was appointed the ACPO Lead for e-Crime, as the National lead I welcome the launch of the PCeU which will
become a Centre of Excellence to combat e-Crime in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We have worked closely with the Home Office, City of London Police and the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) to address e-Crime issues and bring this unit to fruition.

Electronic crime is a growing phenomenon of the twenty first century and has the potential to affect us all. This Unit will provide a law enforcement solution and work towards limiting the impact of this crime on society.
