Border vulnerabilities

The trafficking of criminal commodities such as vulnerable people, guns and drugs across borders is big business for organised crime. Securing the UK's borders and protecting our communities, business and trade is a priority for the NCA and law enforcement partners.

Solving crime and protecting the public takes many roles, from investigating evidence and using technology to supporting vicitims. View our film to see what your day could involve.
