UK: Police to be Assessed on e-Crime Response

Tom Young writes on Computing (UK):

Electronic crime is to be included for the first time in the criteria by which local police forces are assessed.

From this week, HM Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) will examine whether forces have investigated the problem of computer-based criminal activity and what reporting structures are in place to focus on it.

The changes are a major step forward and will help establish a co-ordinated national response, according to Sue Wilkinson, the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) lead on e-crime.
