UK to launch new National Police Service, like a British FBI, to tackle terrorism, fraud, and organized crime.

The UK government has announced plans to establish a new National Police Service, known as the "British FBI," to centralize counter-terrorism, fraud, and organized crime investigations in England and Wales. The force will combine existing agencies such as the National Crime Agency and Counter Terrorism Policing, led by a National Police Commissioner, to improve efficiency and combat modern threats by leveraging shared intelligence and advanced technologies. The reform is intended to free local police from complex national cases, allowing them to focus on community-level crime. The changes, which will be implemented gradually, are part of a larger effort to modernize an outdated policing system, and have the support of major police leaders, though officials emphasize the importance of maintaining strong community ties.
