Following the Attorney General’s Fraud Review of 2006, the City of London Police were asked to develop a training academy which would become a centre of excellence for training in the prevention, detection and investigation of fraud and economic crime.
Through sharing our knowledge and experience and acting as a global leader in sharing economic crime and fraud prevention internationally, we aim to make the UK and the international markets in which we operate a safer place and a more difficult environment for fraudsters to function.
