Don Randall, Head of Security at the Bank of England, has been explaining the importance of creating a vehicle for people to communicate and identify crime concerns. During his speech at the European Serious Organised Crime Conference in London this week, he emphasised the need to join up vendors, practitioners (the police) and the public in order to help tackle serious and organised crime. He also stressed the importance of police forces working in harmony with each other rather than worrying about the balance of power and leadership between organisations. He cited Project Griffin and ‘Sister Banks’ as examples of private sector organisations working successfully with law enforcement agencies to deliver positive results in reducing the threat and impact of organised crime.
