The Home Office has not issued any guidance to the police. The City of London Police will second police officers to the Food Crime Unit as part of their role as the national lead for fraud. It is the responsibility of the College of Policing's national policing business areas to appoint, as appropriate a national business policing lead for this work and to secure the engagement of forces nationally with this initiative.
