National Crime Agency sets out role in tackling serious and organised crime
The agency says it focuses on targeting those who pose the greatest risk and prioritises support for victims.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) says it leads the UK’s work to cut serious and organised crime, with the aim of protecting the public by targeting criminals it considers to pose the greatest risk.
In its overview of its work and people, the NCA says it does not have a single “typical” officer. It describes a workforce with different backgrounds and cultures, speaking many languages and bringing a range of skills and experience, while sharing a commitment to protecting the public from serious and organised crime.
The NCA also highlights governance and transparency. It says it has a duty to be open, transparent and accountable for its performance and the use of public money, supported by “rigorous governance and oversight procedures.”
On internal culture and staff development, the agency points to inclusion, diversity and equality. It says diversity is one of its strengths and that it is committed to providing a positive and inclusive environment where officers from all backgrounds and identities can succeed and help in the fight against serious and organised crime.
The agency further outlines its approach to victims and survivors, stating that victims’ best interests are at the heart of its work. It says it is committed to treating victims with fairness and dignity and to providing necessary care, support and protection from the outset of an investigation through to prosecution at court and beyond if needed.
The NCA’s page links to further information about its mission, its people, governance, inclusion and how it works to support victims and survivors.
