Deputy Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman, Gwent Police, NPCC Lead for Acquisitive Crime
"I’m delighted to behosting the first National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) Serious Organised Acquisitive Crime Conference (SOAC) in Cardiff on 12 & 13 September this year.
This is the perfect opportunity to bring together policing professionals from strategic leaders to analytical colleagues to understand the evolving picture of SOAC across UK policing. As well as colleagues from policing, we will be joined by important partners in our fight against these types of crime from the Home Office to Ministry of Justice to the National Crime Agency (NCA) and crucially, stakeholders from the world of business.
Taking a preventative approach to SOAC under the four Ps (prepare, prevent, pursue, protect) and working with business, this is an exciting time with the recent launch of our SOAC Strategy for the coming three years, linking intrinsically to the Government’s Beating Crime plan. The conference will see keynote speakers from across these sectors with breakout sessions which will detail what has previously worked to bring offenders to justice, prevent these offences from taking place and case studies from around the UK.
I hope to see many of you in attendance at what will be a superb opportunity to share good practice, make lasting connections and build on the strong foundations that we have set for the coming years."
"Rwy’n falch iawn o gael cynnal Cynhadledd Troseddau Caffael Cyfundrefnol Difrifol (TCCD) gyntaf Cyngor Cenedlaethol Penaethiaid yr Heddlu (NPCC) yng Nghaerdydd, 12 a 13 Medi eleni.
Mae hwn yn gyfle gwych i ddod â gweithwyr proffesiynol yn y maes plismona – o arweinwyr strategol i gydweithwyr dadansoddol - at ei gilydd er mwyn deall problem newidiol TCCD ar draws plismona yn y DU. Yn ogystal â chydweithwyr o’r heddlu, bydd partneriaid pwysig yn ymuno â ni yn ein hymgais i atal y mathau hyn o droseddau, o’r Swyddfa Gartref i'r Weinyddiaeth Gyfiawnder i'r Asiantaeth Troseddau Cenedlaethol (NCA) ac, yn hollbwysig, arbenigwyr o’r byd busnes.
Gan ddefnyddio’r dull ataliol ‘paratoi, atal, ymlid ac amddiffyn’ (4Ps yn Saesneg) - i fynd i’r afael â TCCD, a chydweithio gyda’r byd busnes, daw’r gynhadledd hon ar adeg gyffrous wedi i ni lansio ein Strategaeth TCCD ar gyfer y tair blynedd nesaf, sy’n gysylltiedig yn ei hanfod â Chynllun Trechu Trosedd y Llywodraeth. Bydd y gynhadledd yn croesawu prif siaradwyr o bob rhan o’r sectorau hyn a bydd sesiynau grŵp llai yn trafod yr hyn sydd wedi gweithio yn y gorffennol i ddwyn troseddwyr o flaen eu gwell, atal y troseddau hyn rhag digwydd ac astudiaethau achos o bob rhan o’r DU.
Edrychaf ymlaen at groesawu llawer ohonoch i'r gynhadledd a fydd yn gyfle gwych i rannu arfer da a chreu cysylltiadau parhaol, gan adeiladu ar y seiliau cadarn sydd gennym eisoes ar gyfer y blynyddoedd i ddod."
