SCD9 will fight obscene publications and related problems

Experts in several different fields have been brought together into one London unit named SCD9.

The aim of the unit is to tackle crime in areas such as trafficking, prostitiuion, violence, drugs and other relevant crimes. Approximately 39 officers with the necessary experience have been hired to work within the unit.

One area of the unit will also focus on obscene publications, extreme pornography and sharing of indecent images of children via the Internet. It is hoped that the research and work done in this part of the unit will cut down the overall problem of indecent imagery and related sex offences.

SCD9 has been criticised as being a waste of Police resouces and money. However, the Metropolitan Police are confident it will make a significant difference in the fight against crime.
