National Cyber Crime Unit

Last updated

The National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) is a command of the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency. [1] With the creation of the National Crime Agency in 2013, the unit was formed following the merge of the Serious Organised Crime Agency's cyber division with the Police Central E-Crime Unit (PCeU) of the Metropolitan Police Service, and is one of four current commands which look at the growing use of cybercrime and ways to identify it.
