'British FBI' to take over terror and fraud probes in reforms to police
'British FBI' to take over terror and fraud probes in reforms to police A new national police force is being created to take over counter-terror, fraud, and criminal gang investigations. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the new National Police Service (NPS), described as a British FBI, would deploy world class talent and state of the art technology to track down and catch dangerous criminals.

Mahmood said policing was stuck in a different century and the new body will form part of a series of police reforms she will unveil on Monday. The NPS will cover England and Wales but be able to operate in the wider UK, setting standards and training.
