An Association of Chief Police Officers' survey from <br>2012 demonstrated the wide range of serious crime types that communications <br>data is used to investigate, including terrorism, drugs trafficking and child <br>abuse. Total crime figures, recorded by the police, and including breakdowns <br>by crime type, can be found on the Office for National Statistics website.<br><br>Law enforcement agencies do not routinely make a record of all of the <br>investigatory techniques that they use when investigating individual crimes, as <br>there is no operational reason to do so. However, Keith Bristow, Director <br>General of the National Crime Agency, made clear in his speech to the Police <br>Foundation on 24 June that communications data is most commonly used in the <br>investigation of the most serious offences, such as murder, rape and kidnap, <br>and that communications data is overwhelmingly the most powerful tool available <br>to those investigating child sexual exploitation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/07/2014 14:15:10 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 10283 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
