Tarian Regional Cyber Crime Unit (RCCU)
Forming part of Tarian Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU), we are a multi-disciplinary team of police officers and police staff seconded from the three forces of South Wales, Gwent and Dyfed-Powys.
Working with partners such as the National Crime Agency (NCA), National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and the Welsh Government, our mission is to contribute towards a safer and more cyber secure environment in Southern Wales.
