Draft:Regional Organised Crime Units (ROCU)

The Regional Organised Crime Units (commonly known as ROCUs) are a network of law enforcement organisations in the United Kingdom, mainly focused on fighting organised crime within their assigned area.

ROCUs are a collaboration of neighbouring territorial police forces. By joining their respective police areas, cross-border organised crime can be tackled more effectively, where traditionally forces were hampered by offenders crossing territorial boundaries.

There are currently nine ROCUs across the UK.[1]

  • East Midlands (EMSOU)
  • Eastern (ERSOU)
  • North East (NEROCU)
  • North West (NWROCU)
  • South East (SEROCU)
