The City of London Police and ICE's Homeland Security Investigations signed a memorandum of understanding to work together in fighting intellectual property crime, said ICE on March 24 (here). The agreement "will ensure an even greater sharing of intelligence, information and best practices, particularly surrounding training," said the agency. "The agreement also targets raising public awareness about established and emerging intellectual property crime trends." ICE has previously worked with the City of London Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit, it said. The MOU "formalizes a long-standing and mutually beneficial partnership in the fight against these global criminal networks,” said HSI London Attaché Matthew Etre. “I am confident that this memorandum of understanding will further cement the relationship between our two agencies and, as a result, lead to even more success in dismantling these networks and convicting these offenders.”
