The work of the Serious Crime Directorate at New Scotland Yard

Its primary role is to investigate and pro-actively target criminals involved in the most serious categories of crime, including people who kill or who are prepared to kill. It works in co-operation with other parts of the Met's Specialist Operations command and with the below borough-based Territorial Policing units that comprise London's local police. It also works with various nationally organised police units and agencies.In November 2002 Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur undertook responsibility for the Specialist Crime Directorate.

For information on the Special Crime Group visit http://www.met.police.uk/so/so6.htm

The basic street-level policing of London is carried out by 33 Borough Operational Command Units (BOCUs), which operate to the same boundaries as the 32 London Borough Councils, apart from one BOCU which is dedicated to Heathrow Airport.

The BOCUs are the units that Londoners will know as their local police. In The Met's internal language these units, together with certain pan-London units, are an element of the organisation known as "Territorial Policing". For more information on Territorial Policing visit: http://www.met.police.uk/about/boroughs.htm
