• Details of SOCA activity in Scotland and Northern Ireland, overseas, and activity both in support of, and in collaboration with, domestic and international partners;
• Progress against SOCA’s five Strategic Imperatives:
  • to build knowledge and understanding of serious organised crime, the harm it causes, and of the effectiveness of different responses;
  • to tackle criminal finances and profits (CFP), including through asset recovery;
  • to increase the risk to serious organised criminals operating in the UK through proven investigative capabilities and in new ways;
  • to collaborate with partners in the UK and internationally to maximise efforts to reduce harm. To provide agreed levels of high-quality support to SOCA’s operational partners and, as appropriate, seek their support in return; and
• To develop SOCA’s capacity to make a difference.
