National Cyber Crime Unit

Overview
The National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) leads the UK's response to cyber crime, supports partners with specialist capabilities and coordinates the national response to the most serious of cyber crime threats.

Working closely with the Regional Organised Crime Units (ROCUs), the MPCCU (Metropolitan Police Cyber Crime Unit), partners within Industry, Government and International Law Enforcement, the NCCU has the capability to respond rapidly to changing threats.

The NCCU has the capability to respond in fast time to rapidly changing threats and collaborates with partners to reduce cyber crime by:


 * Providing a powerful and highly visible investigative response to the most serious incidents of cyber crime: pursuing cyber criminals at a national and international level.
 * Working proactively to target criminal vulnerabilities and prevent criminal opportunities.
 * Assisting the NCA and wider law enforcement to pursue those who utilise the internet or ICT for criminal means. This includes offering technical, strategic and intelligence support to local and regional law enforcement, as well as supporting the training of the Cyber Crime Units within each ROCU.
 * Driving a step-change in the UK’s overall capability to tackle cyber crime, supporting partners in industry and law enforcement to better protect themselves against cyber crime.
