The UK government plans to establish a National Police Service—a body already informally dubbed the “British FBI”—that would take responsibility for investigating organised crime, terrorism, fraud and the online exploitation of children. The move would mark one of the most sweeping changes to policing in England and Wales in recent years.

The Home Office is set to announce the creation of the new service on Monday in a dedicated policy document. The reform would abandon the current model, under which investigations into fraud, the activities of organised crime groups and nationwide counterterrorism operations are split across several agencies—including the National Crime Agency and regional units reporting to local police forces.
