GILLIAN KEEGAN MP
During the pandemic fraud and online crime rose dramatically. Over 50 per cent of all reported crime is now fraud related and over 80 per cent of that is facilitated using digital technology.
Surrey and Sussex Police’s webinars form part of the Government’s wider anti-fraud campaign, as well as the work of our brilliant Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, Katy Bourne. This builds on our long-term plan to tackle online crime which has already seen a cut in fraud and computer misuse by 13 per cent in the last year.
I have worked to help many constituents who have been victims of online fraud and have seen first-hand how distressing it can be. I would therefore highly recommend signing up to these informative online talks with our specially trained local police officers.
There is already very high demand for March’s sessions, so to find out more visit Gillian Keegan News. for details and to sign up.
