The National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) brings together and is funded by police forces in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as the armed services and some British Overseas Territories.
Yesterday, the NPCC announced:
The NPCC alongside the NCLCC have today (9 July) launched the Disrupting County Lines Policing Strategy.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) County Lines and Gangs alongside the National County Lines Coordination Centre (NCLCC) have today (9 July) launched the Disrupting County Lines Policing Strategy 2024 to 2027.
The strategy aims to:
- Prevent people engaging in County Lines, and the associated violence and exploitation.
- Proactively safeguard children and vulnerable adults from harm.
- Better prepare communities by building resilience against the harms of County Lines.
- Relentlessly pursue offenders, including Organised Criminal Groups, Urban Street Gangs and individuals running County Lines.
Building on the success since the launch of the Home Office County Lines programme in 2019, we have seen:
- 5,627 County Lines closed down.
- 16,536 people arrested.
- 8,817 individuals referred by police to safeguarding.
- There are now fewer County Lines coming from exporter forces and fewer children involved in County Lines from those areas.
- We have launched the NCLCC Power App for Law Enforcement, a central resource for County Lines knowledge and practitioner guidance.

BBC Scotland have not mentioned ‘County Lines’ nor their bases in English cities in the last 3 plus years and today, seem unaware of such a major announcement of the kind a public service provider should headline.
What are they afraid of? We all know the answer to that.

Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
BBC Scotland is a misnomer.
This broadcaster (BBC North Brit)is a front for British nationalism and is only interested in :-
A. Propagating Anglo-British nationalist propaganda.
B. Destroying trust in Scotland, it institutions and political options.

Since this joint police action can be presented as an example of ‘pooling and sharing’, ergo ‘better together’, it is odd that BBC Scotland is not giving it publicity. It is also failing in its duty to inform the public about a particular danger to people’s safety.
