Introduction
The City of London is the world's leading business and financial centre. Over 450 international banks are sited here. The City of London is the recognised world centre for the insurance industry and home to the headquarters of countless international corporations.
More than 300,000 people travel to work in the Square Mile every day, generating tens of billions of pounds for the UK economy.
Many major global companies have their headquarters in the City, including Aviva, BT Group, Lloyds Banking Group, Old Mutual, Prudential, Standard Chartered, Unilever and Ernst and Young. A number of the world's largest law firms are headquartered in the City, including Allen & Overy, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, DLA Piper, Hogan Lovells, Linklaters, Eversheds and Slaughter and May.
The City of London Police is the territorial police force responsible for law enforcement within the City of London.
Policing in the City of London has existed since Roman times. The passing of the City of London Police Act 1839 gave statutory approval to the force as an independent police body, heading off attempts made to merge it with the Metropolitan Police.
From the fraud investigation to corporate communication, scientific support to counter terrorism, the departments aim to make the City of London safer by upholding the law fairly and firmly; preventing crime and antisocial behaviour; keeping the peace; protecting and reassuring the community; investigating crime and bringing offenders to justice.
The Economic Crime Department is dedicated to preventing and investigating fraud and is the Lead Force for economic crime investigation.
Latest estimates suggest that fraud costs the nation a staggering £30 billion a year. When the Government announced a National Fraud Review, City of London Police was invited to participate at the highest level.
