The Scotland Yard assistant commissioner, Neil Basu, said key crime-fighting tools would be lost and their replacements would not be as good. A no-deal EU would mean the UK loses access to key Neil Basu crime-fighting tools, affecting safety and security, according to the country's head of counter-terrorism, EU . Replacement systems would be slower, he said, and no contingency planning could adequately replace the loss of access to shared intelligence databases and European arrest warrants and passenger records in a no-deal scenario. This could mean Brexit authorities are not alerted when serious offenders or wanted people enter the UK . Basu, however, expressed confidence that UK politicians grasp the safety issues at stake.
