Scottish Commercial Crime Group
Crimes involving commercial goods and organised criminal groups are the main target of the Scottish Commercial Crime Group (SCCG).
Led by the Association of Chief
Police Officers Scotland (ACPOS), the Group focuses on the
co-ordinated prevention, investigation and detection of this type
of crime. Its members exchange views, share information and best
practice on combating commercial crime, and identify opportunities
for effective co-operation.
The Group also raises awareness of
the potential for, and the existence and extent of, criminal
attacks on commercial goods. New trends and developments in
commercial crime are identified and crime prevention, detection and
prosecution initiatives are assessed and circulated to members.
Other aspects of the SCCG's work
include achieving safe and secure working environments for
employees and the protection of member organisations' assets. The
Group has four sub-groups covering Retail, Law Enforcement
Agencies, Metal Theft and Intellectual Property.
The Scottish Commercial Crime Group
is composed of representatives from industry and commerce involved
in the production, storage, carriage and resale of commercial
goods, Scottish police forces and law enforcement agencies and
other invited members.
It is administered by the Scottish
Business Crime Centre.
