Police and Crime Commissioner. However the Government is committed <br>to assisting
and, supported by £30 million of Government investment in Regional <br>Organised Crime
Units last year, the police are improving consistency and <br>uplifting their investigative
capabilities in areas including cyber crime and <br>fraud. In addition, we have committed
as part of the National Cyber Security <br>Programme to train 5,000 police officers
in cyber crime by 2015.<br><br>From 1 April 2013, all police forces have been required
to return outcomes <br>under Home Office Counting Rules for fraud and cyber crimes
to the City of <br>London Police (which runs the Action Fraud service). The data for
the 2013/14 <br>financial year is currently being collated and analysed by City of
London <br>Police, and will be made available to police forces shortly.</p><p> </p>
