Disruption Tool

Overview

The disruption tool allows you to log, edit and review tactical disruptions undertaken against Organised Crime groups or Individuals. Disruptions can be ‘tagged’ to projects or subjects in pam allowing you to see all the disruption work that has taken place against a group overall or as part of a specific operation.

Reporting against disruptions is also available with statistics tailored to match the national reporting required by ROCUs and the NCA
