The Home Secretary has discussed the threat of serious organised crime in her address to the Serious and Organised Crime Exchange 2016. Ms May noted the threat from serious and organised crime is a quickly changing one and that, therefore, the NCA will need to drive a greater focus on intelligence and leadership in the face of a rapidly changing threat. She went on to discuss the Investigatory Powers Bill to ensure that enforcement agencies have the necessary and proportionate powers to tackle serious and organised crime in its modern form.
