On the 24th, the British government announced that it will establish a new national police agency called the "National Police Bureau", equivalent to the "British version of the FBI", aiming to modernize the British policing system in order to better combat terrorism, fraud, organized crime, and other complex criminal activities. This agency will integrate the work of the National Crime Agency and national functions such as counter-terrorism and road policing. The National Crime Agency is under the Home Office and is responsible for investigating serious organized crimes such as drug trafficking and human trafficking.
