Every England and Wales police force now has a dedicated cybercrime unit, thanks to a multimillion-pound government investment, it was revealed yesterday.

The announcement was made by the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) National Cybercrime Programme, and claimed that forces were able to access £7m in funds to fill the units with specialist officers and equipment.

“In the past six years we have introduced a robust national and regional network of dedicated cybercrime units at national and regional level but we were still lacking a local response as part of the Team Cyber UK network,” explained chief constable Peter Goodman, the NPCC lead for cybercrime.
Before the initiative, less than a third (31%) of forces apparently had a dedicated cybercrime unit.
