<p>The Home Office is working closely with a range of operational partners, including
the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), on policing and security cooperation between
the UK and the EU in the context of EU Exit.</p><p>Our preferred scenario is a new
legally binding agreement between the UK and the EU on internal security. However,
as a responsible Government, we are preparing – on a contingent basis – for a no deal
scenario in which we would move co-operation to alternative, non-EU mechanisms.</p><p>We
are working closely with the NPCC on these joint preparations, and under ‘Operation
Safety Net’, the NPCC is establishing a new national unit called the International
Crime Co-ordination Centre. Regular engagement is on-going at operational, official
and senior official levels.</p>
