Tijs Broeke, Chair of the City of London Police Authority Board, has called for every police officer to be trained in providing advice and support to victims of fraud.

Speaking at the City of London Police Authority Board Dinner where police, business leaders, and security personnel attended, Mr Broeke said, “If local police officers don’t know how to deal with the highest volume crime type in the country, we must ask ourselves how can a victim who has just lost £100 through courier fraud feel supported?”
