Abstract
The British police have always prided themselves on being ‘localised’ and accountable to local communities. National policing initiatives have taken place, but these have increased in recent years with such projects as the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS), the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), and the National Crime Agency (NCA); the latter incorporating the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command (CEOP). The National Forensic Framework is also considered here, including the National DNA Database.
