NCA Director General says a £2.7bn investment in law enforcement is needed to combat SOC over the next three years.
There are at least 181,000 offenders linked to serious and organised crime (SOC) in the UK, the National Crime Agency has revealed, as it launched its most comprehensive study yet of the deadliest threat facing the nation.
To effectively lead the fight against SOC, the NCA needs additional funding.
The money would enable the agency to meet growing demand and to build capabilities in areas such as digital forensics, covert surveillance, financial investigations and other critical areas law enforcement needs to combat SOC in the 21st century.
