The system was developed in Canada by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The investigating officer receives a report from a crime analyst with a number of key elements designed to assist the investigation. It will identify if there are grounds to believe that the offender has previously been identified. It will also provide a breakdown of the behaviour exhibited in the offence, often with a statistical description of some of the elements involved. This can alert an investigator to the importance of some aspects of the offence not immediately apparent. SCAS are also responsible for identifying good practice, or "what works", so the analyst's report may contain "investigative suggestions" that might guide the officer to a specific line of enquiry not yet considered. The report may also suggest possible suspects that the unit has identified from a number of databases. When a prime suspect has been identified and charged with an offence, senior analysts are able to provide specialist evidence in court, to assist with the prosecution of offenders.

Each ROCU is supported by a regional intelligence unit which is staffed by police officers and staff from each ROCU's constituent forces. The Police Service of Northern Ireland, Police Scotland, the City of London Police, and the Metropolitan Police Service each have individual organised crime units which also support the NCA. The nine ROCUs are: ERSOU – Eastern England EMSOU – East Midlands NERSOU – North East ODYSSEY – Yorkshire and Humber SEROCU – South East TARIAN – Southern Wales TITAN – North West
