North East Regional Organised Crime Unit (NEROCU)’s Post

🎤 👏 We teamed up with partners to host a first-of-its-kind unique event aimed at shining a light on serious and organised crime. The North East Serious and Organised Crime Conference, was an innovative two-day event, that saw key specialists come together to deliver inputs showcasing national and regional examples of success, demonstrating new opportunities, highlighting new threats, and detailing new capabilities that can be utilised to assist in the prevention of serious and organised crime. Held at the amazing Glow Centre, on March 25 and 26, it was led by the us with the support of Durham Constabulary, Cleveland Police (UK) and Northumbria Police. The Society of Evidence Based Policing (SEBP) kindly sponsored the event and it also saw all three of the region’s Police and Crime Commissioners attend and show their support, with the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Northumbria and the Joy Allen BA Hons MSc MBA, introducing speakers throughout both days. 🤝 We want to thank all those who attended the conference and a special thank you to those who delivered a presentation. Everybody engaging with sessions is what made it the success it was. 👋 The event also had stalls from #NEROCU Cyber and Economic Crime specialists, Tackling Organised Exploitation Programme (TOEX), the Trainee Detective Programme that tackles knife crime, and the City of London Police. In the #NorthEast we are proud of the connected and coherent response we deliver to the threat of serious and organised crime, providing a collaborative whole system approach across the region. 💙 Events like this are crucial in sharing best practice and raising awareness of the latest innovative capabilities available to maintain our momentum in targeting those involved in serious and organised crime and protecting our communities.
