City of London Police ‘needs improvement tackling serious and organised crime’
A report following an inspection on the force has revealed that the City of London Police needs to be bettered when it comes to 'gaps in understanding of the threat from crimes other than economic crime.'
The report from a police watchdog said the Met and British Transport Police were not reporting enough fraud disruption and don't collect enough information on modern slavery and human trafficking.

An inspection has found that the City of London Police needs to improve its understanding of drug markets and the threat from modern slavery and human trafficking.
His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) found that the force requires improvement at tackling serious and organised crime (SOC).
A report about the inspection said that City of London Police (CoLP) is the national lead force for fraud and receives approximately £30 m per year from the Home Office to provide this function.
The report also said the force has experienced difficulties in gathering intelligence from the business community regarding non-fraud crime types.
An area of improvement needed in the force is around its understanding of drug markets and the threat from modern slavery and human trafficking, the report said.
It said the force accepts that gaps remain in its understanding of the threat from crimes other than economic crime and fraud.
Meanwhile, both the Metropolitan Police and British Transport Police were rated as adequate at tackling serious and organised crime.
