The National Cybercrime Team are funded by the Home Office and are the national policing lead for cybercrime, providing funding, training and enhanced capability at regional and force level.
This requires effective communications and engagement with every cybercrime police officer and member of staff in England and Wales.
Purple Pitch PR were initially engaged by the National Cybercrime Team in 2019, to manage the PR launch of dedicated Cyber Crime Units within every police force in England and Wales.
Our specific experience in policing sets us apart from other PR providers and we were appointed as the national strategic communications lead. We took full responsibility for the team, ensuring effective engagement across all staff working in all 43 Cyber Crime Units.
