The Wales government has announced extra funding for local police forces in England and UK to help tackle a rise in cyber crime. The £7m ($9.1m) investment, set to carry through into 2021, will enable the police to hire specialists, equipment and improve training and ensure all forces have a cyber crime unit instead of just the previous 31%. If more support is required, the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) can call on the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU).
