<p><br>The Home Office provided £3.6m to establish the National County Lines Coordination
Centre (NCLCC) to enhance our cross border intelligence and activity on county lines
and to better safeguard and protect victims of county lines. NCLCC supports operational
policing as well as providing a central point at which intelligence and information
is shared on county lines activity.</p><p>The NCLCC comprises a team of experts from
the National Crime Agency, police officers and Regional Organised Crime Units working
together to develop the national intelligence picture of the complexity and scale
of the county lines threat, prioritising action against the most serious offenders,
protecting the exploited and engaging with partners across government, including in
the health, welfare and education spheres, to tackle the wider issues associated with
county lines.</p>
