Protective Services
Regional Task Force
The Regional Task Force (RTF) brings together three main elements:
- the Regional Crime Unit (RCU)
- the Regional Asset Recovery Team (RART)
- Regional Intelligence Unit (RIU).
The Regional Task Force exists to provide a co-ordinated, partnership approach to tackling serious and organised crime across the West Midlands area. The focus is on individuals and groups who pose the biggest threat to our communities.
The aim of the group is to help make communities safer by reducing crime and making sure offenders don’t profit from their crime.
