The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) was the forerunner of the National Crime Agency. As well as writing their website, I was asked to produce staff seminars to introduce the new site and to help stakeholders to create further content.

New ways of fighting crime
We use traditional law enforcement methods – investigating, and arresting criminals. We also draw on innovative new approaches to prevent crimes from happening in the first place.
Here are some examples:
First class intelligence – we use all kinds of ways to gather the knowledge we need to know where, when and how to strike to best effect.
Monitoring serious career criminals – in some cases we watch them for life, to prevent them from continuing their criminal activities in prison or after release.
Hitting them where it hurts – by taking criminals’ cash and property. For many serious criminals, this worries them more than the prospect of going to prison.
Working in partnership – serious organised crime is a major problem that affects everyone every day, so we co-operate with law enforcement, public and private sector partners to counter it.
Worldwide operations – we go anywhere we need to when tackling criminal activity. For instance, a street drug dealer is just the last link in a chain that probably stretches to the other side of the world. So our activities aren’t limited by borders.
Making it harder to commit crime – for example, passing on details of suspicious financial activities or forged identities to banks before frauds can take place.
