Police Chiefs’ Blog: CC Sara Thornton – Chief Constables’ Council April 2016
http://www.npcc.police.uk/ThePoliceChiefsBlog/PoliceChiefsBlogCCSaraThorntonChiefConstablesCounc.aspx
The NPCC works closely with a range of organisations including the College of Policing, National Crime Agency, Association of Police & Crime Commissioners and Home Office. In an increasingly global world, however, these relationships can no longer begin and end with our physical borders. For the first time ever, Chief Constables’ Council hosted a serving FBI Director. On Thursday James Comey joined the meeting to discuss encryption and the challenges posed by modern technology. While our countries have many differences it was clear that some of the challenges were similar and we all agreed on the importance of continued international cooperation.
