Government inspectors say EMSOU is overly focused on traditional serious organised crime threats.
BBC News
They said officers focused too much on traditional serious and organised crime rather than new criminal threats.In a report published on Thursday, the inspectors said the unit's efforts were mainly directed at traditional drug and gun crime and that it need to do more to disrupt modern slavery, human trafficking and child sexual exploitation in the region.
HMICRFS said a lack of experience, skills and training among senior investigators had pushed them to gravitate towards drug and firearms operations. Inspectors found the chief constables of the Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and Northamptonshire forces had been unable to agree a three-year EMSOU funding deal, as requested by HM Treasury, leaving its senior management with uncertainty of their annual budgets.
