The Fraud Reduction website is published by the National Working Group on Fraud on behalf of the UK Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). This website deals primarily with commercial fraud in a policing context. The information contained in these pages is intended to provide advice for individuals and businesses on how to recognise fraud, how to avoid it through preventative measures, and how to respond to suspected frauds.
The membership of the police National Working Group on Fraud (NWGF) is drawn from a range of UK police forces, including Northern Ireland and Scotland, to ensure that the interests of all fraud squads, irrespective of size, are equally represented. The ACPO Crime Committee regards the working group as a key source of information and advice. As a result the NWGF has become an important liaison point for commercial organisations, as well as law enforcement and government agencies, tasked with combating fraud.
We hope you find this information practical and useful. If there is any further information you would wish to see included, or if you have any other comments on this site, we welcome your feedback.
