UK: National Criminal Intelligence System (1)

01 May 1992

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

The name of the National Drugs Intelligence Unit (NDIU), which is being incorporated into the National Criminal Intelligence System (NCIS), is being changed to the NCIS Drugs Division.

There is a fine line between intelligence-gathering (the official role of the NCIS) and operations (which it said not to be undertaking). A spokesman for the NCIS said: "Members of the NCIS will be allowed to cultivate informants and carry out static observations but will not undertake mobile surveillance; for this they will have to rely upon co-operation from operational units".

Police Review 27.3.92.(see also Statewatch Vol 2 no 2).

Our work is only possible with your support.
