The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress she has made on delivering the Fraud and Cyber Crime Reporting and Analysis Service.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

We are working with City of London Police to replace Action Fraud with a new andimproved national police reporting service for fraud and cyber crime. The new servicewill use the latest technology to improve reporting and support services for victims,providing far greater intelligence to policing for investigations, and allowing forgreater prevention and disruption at scale. This will support victims of fraud to comeforward, report instances of fraud, and know that their case will be dealt with properly.

The first phase of this, a new crime and intelligence management system, wasintroduced in November 2024. This will improve the analysis of reports, the quality ofintelligence drawn from them, and how quickly they can be disseminated to policeforces for investigation.
