Sign a petition

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to give the formation
of a police central e-crime unit, as proposed by the Metropolitan and
ACPO urgent priority.

More details

The consequences of, and reactions to, the loss of records by HM
Revenue and Customs, make the creation of a well resourced operation
to address computer assisted crime (including information and identity
theft from data and call centres, not just the use of the Internet to
automate old crimes and invent new ones) a matter of great urgency.
The operation should cover all the activities proposed by the
Metropolitan Police to the Home Office for such a Unit (beginning with
the collation of incident notification and intelligence and support
for and co-operation with organisations like Get Safe On-Line and the
National E-Crime Prevention Centre) but it needs to be on a scale akin
to similar operations in the United States, with additional funding
and resources from other government departments and industry (i.e. not
just existing Police budgets) as necessary.
