<p>The full force of the law should be used to pursue, and prosecute individuals who
choose to commit fraud. Whilst it is down to Chief Constables and Police and Crime
Commissioners to set local priorities for their force area, I recognise that driving
up the law enforcement response to fraud at national, regional and local levels must
be a priority. Through the Joint Fraud Taskforce, we are working with the City of
London Police, the national lead force for fraud, to establish a consistent and transparent
approach to fraud across all police forces.</p>
