The Cabinet Office has published a 155-page report on preparing for a No Deal Brexit. It only refers to the significant loss of the crime-fighting tools on Page 153... For clarity, this is where it appears: gov.uk/government/pub…
"Loss of capability" ... Alternatives for the police are "not like-for-like replacements and cannot fully compensate loss of EU co-operation tools"
This is, of course, not new. But an important non-Brexit story today illustrates in real terms why it matters. The @NCA_UK may have dismantled the biggest drug-smuggling operation yet uncovered in the UK: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-499731…
The op involved the following:
1) European Arrest Warrants against 6 suspects in Holland. (They'll probs be swiftly extradited to UK.)
2) Europol: EU agency co-ordinating cross-border police work
3) Eurojust: Agency for cross-border judicial/prosecution co-operation
All of which the UK leave if there is no security agreement with the EU. See first tweet in thread about the Cabinet Office's assessment of preparedness.
