Working in partnership

Serious organised crime is a global enterprise which crosses national and international borders. Its roots are often abroad, outside UK jurisdiction. Within the UK, there is no single crime type for which SOCA has sole responsibility.

This means that in every area of our business, at home and overseas, partnership working is essential to how we operate. We do not compete with our partners. Our aim is to work collaboratively to achieve more together.
