Recommendation 17
17
Deferred
Paragraph: 63
Multiple police command chains for fraud cases create confusion and pass responsibility.
Conclusion
Within policing, there are various chains of command when it comes to tackling fraud cases, with investigations being conducted at a local level but with central bodies, namely the City of London Police and the National Economic Crime Centre, having responsibility for the overall approach to combatting fraud. This can create confusion and lead to the passing of responsibility for fraud cases between forces and other police organisations.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government's response addressed corporate criminal liability and the Online Safety Bill, which are unrelated to the committee's observation about confusion in policing chains of command for fraud cases.
