For several years, BIFA has been working to highlight the threat posed by crime to international supply chains. BIFA has supported many police initiatives to combat crime, most notably its sponsorship of NAVCIS, which coordinates the reporting and investigation of vehicle-related crime.
BIFA has commenced working with Opal, the police national intelligence unit focused on combating serious organised acquisitive crime (SOAC), where there is a series of offences impacting on two or more police force areas, including Scotland and Northern Ireland.
To develop effective solutions, the police need information about such crimes impacting Members. The police wish to use this information to understand the current situation and develop strategies to combat crime in the future and target criminal gangs.
To gain an accurate picture of the current situation, Opal is surveying the UK freight forwarding and transport sector. BIFA sees this as a positive first step and encourages all Members who have been the victims of crime to complete the survey.
The survey can be accessed via the button below, and we would encourage as many Members as possible to complete it by the cutoff date of 19th April 2026.
The post Police Survey on the Threat Posed to the Supply Chain appeared first on British International Freight Association.
