Agenda item

Commissioner & Chief Officers to be heard.

Members received a verbal update from the Commissioner and Chief Officers regarding National Lead Force (NLF).

There had been an increased focus on communications and prevention activity. At the end of October there had been the National Fraud Awareness week. The Christmas Campaign was due to commence in time for both Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

An Economic Crime Conference had been arranged by officers, with 41 of the 43 forces attending. It featured a number of key speakers and provided an opportunity to brief them on current work. This was a successful event but for any future event it was hoped the Security Minister would join to encourage engagement from Chief Officer groups around the country.

There had been an uplift in positive judicial outcomes.

RESOLVED, that the update be noted.
