County Lines - ICS involvement

The ICS developed the Locality Review Process in partnership with the Home Office, and reviewed over 20 local area responses to the growing problem of cross-area drug dealing, and its associated criminality.

ICS reviews highlighted common features and tactics adopted by dealer groups, thereby assisting police and local authorities to shape their local responses and be more effective.

Our reviews demonstrated that there is still work to do, more areas are becoming affected but as the result of our work County Lines responses became more effective and reduced the problem.

Contact us if your local area would benefit from a review of current activities, or if any aspect of local crime prevention strategy needs to be supported. Our experts are ready to be commissioned to assist practitioners Nationally.
