Crime and law enforcement

Crime and law enforcement landing page We investigate serious and organised crime such as drug trafficking, fraud, money laundering and networked paedophilia.

We can use our special powers when investigating crime, disrupting criminal syndicates and confiscating proceeds of crime. Our work complements that of other state, national and international law enforcement agencies.
