Serious and Organised Crime Unit

The Serious and Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) is based at police headquarters in Hutton. SOCU officers work with local police teams and their communities to identify professional, organised and lifestyle criminals who cause harm to the community and who undermine public confidence.

These 'serious' criminals come in all shapes and sizes but they are often the 'masterminds' behind criminal networks. SOCU's aim is to disrupt, investigate and imprison such criminals.

To do this, SOCU is made up of a range of specialist units. These are:

  • Proactive targeting syndicates
  • Stolen vehicle squad
  • Economic crime unit (Financial Crime and Financial Investigation)
  • Hi-tech crime unit
  • Drugs support
