UK police vs cybercrime
London’s Metropolitan Police has warned that the U.K.’s local police forces “can no longer cope” with e-crime, and has called for a national unit to be set up to address the problem.
In a report published Thursday and written by detective chief inspector Charlie McMurdie of the Met’s specialist crime directorate, the Met said that a national e-crime unit is needed to tackle cybercrime. The unit would act as a central coordination point for police officers across the country, who are currently struggling to cope with the threat of e-crime.
