New 'British FBI' to fight serious crime and help local police tackle everyday offences

This Sky News article discusses the creation of the National Police Service (NPS), often referred to as the 'British FBI', to combat serious crimes such as terrorism, fraud, and organized crime in England and Wales. The NPS will centralize the rollout of advanced technologies, including facial recognition, and will also oversee the National Crime Agency, counter-terrorism policing, and regional organized crime units. The aim is to enhance local forces' capabilities to tackle everyday offenses, while ensuring a consistent policing standard across the country.
