A senior police officer has called for the investigation of cybercrime to become routine for all police officers because the specialist units presently set up will not be able to cope with the growing instances of the new wave in criminality.

Chief Superintendent Gavin Thomas, Vice President of the Police Superintendents’ Association was reported in the online newsletter Police Oracle as saying that every officer had to be normalised in investigating cybercrime if the police service was to keep up with growing demand.

He said the speed of growth in cybercrime meant the service could not afford to be solely reactive or strictly specialist in its approach.

“My problem is we are creating bespoke specialisms within the police service but this needs to be normalised.

“Very quickly something happening like this will become a norm in our society; so how do we normalise our approach to these technologies in terms of investigating the crime, recording it and protecting people?”

The rate of people shopping online was also going up by around 10% year-on-year: increasing the likelihood that more fraud would be committed.

Chief Supt Thomas said: “This is not going to go away - people are changing their behaviours and how they live their lives.”

He said the service had a tendency to be behind the curve on technology and this was evident in the 80s and 90s with the increasing popularity of mobile phones. 

“When mobile phones came in during the eighties we never appreciated they were a commodity worth stealing or how criminals would use them to commit crimes. It is exactly the same with this now – what does this mean for us as a Service in the future?”

His comments came after the national lead for cybercrime, Deputy Chief Constable Peter Goodman, questioned posed the question as to whether the police currently have skills available to fight online crime.

DCC Goodman told the Modernising Justice conference in London in June: “We as police officers have a duty to prevent and detect crime. We have to question whether we really have the skills and capability in this area when it is a crime that defies boundaries and can be committed in many different countries at once. Are we in a fit state to respond to that?

“We in the police service need to wake up to this new, emerging threat. We are slowly starting to wake up to it but we need to change our business model and that is starting to be realised.”
