Spaces for this session are limited to 1 per organisation. 30 spaces are being allocated to techUK members, with 10 of these reserved for SMEs. 

This workshop which focuses on fraud and cybercrime will be the second of three workshops which are part of The London Policing College's 4th International Policing Conference. Their objective is to consider the challenges for policing through the themes identified in the 'Strategic Review of Policing in England and Wales'. Discussions will examine current effective practice and how this can shape responses.

The objective of this particular workshop is to consider the challenges for policing created by digital evidence, fraud and cybercrime. High level themes from existing practice, innovative approaches, differing perceptions, and evidence capturing which could help to transform policing practice will be discussed.

Feedback from the workshop will be used at the International Policing Conference 'Policing in 21st Century - Renewing Confidence in Public Protection' in September 2022 as a framework to develop plans for action based on the below considerations:

  • What are the issues for fraud and cybercrime and how can they be addressed?
  • What change is required to improve police and industry investigation into fraud and cybercrime?
  • What lessons can be learnt from the roll out and progress of Action Fraud?
  • How can industry better interact and collaborate with law enforcement and the justice system? 

This workshop will consider fraud and cybercrime in the widest sense, looking at how industry and law enforcement roles interact and are both independent yet need to be dependant to prevent and investigate fraud and cybercrime. It will serve as a consultative forum to discuss the role and implications of working through Action Fraud as well as the challenges of identifying and securing the provenance of evidence in a digital world.

Speakers will include: 

  • Dr Stuart Hyde QPM, who will facilitate the workshop discussion
  • Professor Alison Wakefield, University of West London 
  • Rick Muir, Director, The Police Foundation 
  • Police Strategic Lead from City of London Police (awaiting confirmation on representative) 
  • Sam Brown, Norfolk Constabulary 
  • Fraud Advisory Panel (awaiting confirmation on representative)
  • Industry representative from Amazon (awaiting confirmation on representative)
  • Gary Hibberd, Professor of Communicating Cyber, Consultants Like Us 
  • Alex Caithness, Principal Digital Analyst, CCL Group
  • Antony Walker, Deputy CEO, techUK
