US EditionNew 'British FBI' to fight serious crime and help local police tackle everyday offences
The National Police Service will merge existing agencies to tackle complex crimes and improve efficiency, with facial recognition technology credited for 1,700 arrests in two years, officials said.
- A new national crime-fighting force called the National Police Service will oversee counter-terrorism, fraud, and gang investigations as part of police reforms announced by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
- The NPS combines agencies like the National Crime Agency and Counter Terror Policing to support local forces, which are under pressure from everyday policing duties.
- Shabana Mahmood stated that the current policing model is outdated, lacking resources to tackle complex crimes, emphasizing a need for a modern response to crime.
- Former head of Counter Terrorism Policing, Neil Basu, expressed support, stating the NPS would be 'far more capable as one national security system' addressing organized crime and terrorism.
