At a time where cyber crime and fraud account for half of all UK crime, this service set out to improve the process in which victims report cyber crime and fraud and how intelligence is used to disrupt criminal activity. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen!

The award was presented in the ‘Data Transformation of the Year’ category at this year’s British Data Awards. The judge praised ‘the standard of entry in this section, combining exceptional public value, hard evidence of impact and a highly compelling narrative’.

We’re proud to announce that the City of London Police, in partnership with @PwC, has been recognised with an award for the rollout of the new national cyber crime and fraud reporting service, @reportfrauduk.
