Article summary

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) has published a report titled 'An inspection of the National Crime Agency’s crime reduction (investigating offences relating to organised crime) function'. The report details the NCA's crime reduction (investigations) function managed through its UK-wide branch network. In the report, the HMICFRS calls for the Home Office to provide clarity on the National Crime Agency's (NCA) funding for the next three years. HMICFRS also makes several recommendations in its report, for example, 'the NCA should ensure officers are not using personal mobile phones to obtain evidence and communicate during covert operations'.
