Podcast Tackling Plant Theft with Ernie Locke Detective Inspector of Opal ACE

Tackling Plant Theft with Ernie Locke, Detective Inspector of the new Opal ACE national intelligence unit, funded by our industry. In this interview, Ernie talks about the new unit and how it will gather intelligence to boost the fight back against organised criminal gangs (OCG's) in particular. 

He talks about how the ACE team will use a 4P's strategy of prepare, prevent, protect and pursue OCG's and individuals to disrupt their criminality.  Ernie also explains how ACE is part of Opal, which is the national intelligence unit focused on serious organised acquisitive crime (SOAC) across the UK.

And how this additional support will help police forces on the ground regionally, nationally and internationally.  Ernie will also feature in the September edition of Earthmovers Magazine coming soon. For a 10 minute taster, click on the video
