Disrupting Serious and Organised Criminals Menu of tactics What is this menu for? This menu has been developed to assist anyone who is looking to disrupt a criminal, particularly those involved in serious and organised crime, at a local level and working with partners. It will help you identify the appropriate tactics and powers that are available to law enforcement and partner agencies to disrupt criminality. It is designed to support a Problem Solving Approach to the disruption of criminals using a breadth of existing law enforcement and other agency tactics. The problem solving approach encourages greater focus on understanding the cause of a problem so that tactics can be more effective and more efficient in the longer term. The menu provides ideas to assist in forming a coherent, creative disruption plan, with a combination of different tactics from many different agencies. If specialist tactics are being utilised in disruption activities then this menu can be used in conjunction with them, and is complimentary to the NCA Disruption Manual. How to use this menu. The menu is split into 6 areas of a criminal’s lifestyle that facilitate or support their opportunity to commit crime: Lifestyle, Behaviour, Vehicles, Travel, Business, Crime. These 6 areas also present opportunities to be creative in disrupting their criminality. On the following page you will be able to use hyperlinks under these headings to navigate a vast number of tactics/ opportunities, each with its own 4 page profile consisting of : What is this tactic? Impacts Case study What’s the procedure? Who can help me? What do I need to watch out for? These multi-agency tactics can be combined into a bespoke disruption plan. In developing the multi-agency disruption plan, consideration should be given to: o Assigning a plan owner – from the most appropriate agency o Using a combination of tactics to disrupt a single or multiple elements of the criminal’s lifestyle. o Engagement with the full range of agencies and partners who are supporting the disruption plan o Using each disruption as an opportunity for further intelligence gathering and refreshing the plan o The co-ordination and timing in the use of the tactics: the plan owner needs oversight of the complete suite of tactics to ensure they are complimentary The menu is not an exhaustive list of every possible tactic – but it should assist you in thinking differently, prompt a different approach, and deliver a different outcome. The menu is designed to be used interactively through hyperlinks. Next steps Keeping the menu current: If you have any new ideas for interesting tactics not mentioned, please let us know If you try a tactic or combination of tactics that has particular success, please let us know. If you try something that doesn’t work, it’s just as important to learn from it. Identify why you think it didn’t work, and let us know. Accessing the menu: Initially the menu will be made available as an interactive PDF document through common portals such as the College website, Police on Line Knowledge Area (POLKA), PAM for GAIN agencies. Development of the menu: This product is a prototype and development is being scoped to create an alternative tool with improved functionality and accessibility for the user.

    PCC and CC Force Inspection response record Version: Force Staffordshire Police and Crime Matthew Ellis Commissioner Chief Constable Gareth Morgan Title of inspection Roads Policing: Not Optional July 2020 Inspectorate The inspection examined how effectively the road network of England and Wales is policed with a focus on the following four themes: 1) Are national and local roads policing strategies effective? 2) Does capability and capacity match demand? 3) Do the police engage effectively with the public and partners? 4) How well are police officers trained to deal with roads policing matters? Overall, the inspection found that roads policing in some forces is inadequate; that capability and capacity don’t meet demand; there is a lack of coordination with Summary of partners; and that roads policing training needs to be standardised and accredited. inspection The report makes 13 recommendations, to the police and other bodies, which are intended to: Give clarity and guidance to the police and other bodies about their collective responsibilities Improve forces’ understanding of the risks faced by road users in their areas Make sure forces and road safety partners work together effectively Bring about compliance with national guidance on the use of speed and red light cameras Provide greater support and training to officers who investigate road deaths Grade 6 of the recommendations are for chief constables to act on with immediate effect with Recommendations the remaining 7 required to be delivered by April or August 2021 across the Home Office, DfT, NPCC and the College of Policing. 1 Recommendation 4 With immediate effect, chief constables should make sure that roads policing is included in their force’s strategic threat and risk assessments, which should identify the areas of highest harm and risk and the appropriate responses.

In 1962, the Royal Commission on the Police formally acknowledged HMIC’s contribution to policing. HMIs are appointed by the Crown on the recommendation of the Home Secretary and report to HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, who is the Home Secretary’s principal professional policing adviser and is independent of both the Home Office and the police service. HMIC’s principal statutory duties are set out in the Police Act 1996. For more information, please visit HMIC’s website at http://inspectorates.homeoffice.gov.uk/hmic/. In 2006, HMIC conducted a broad assessment of all 43 Home Office police forces in England and Wales, examining 23 areas of activity.
