CID FRAUD SQUAD

 

The MDP Fraud Squad investigates serious fraud and corruption offences against MOD. Given the scale of the MOD's procurement budget, even a small percentage of the whole would be a considerable sum to fall prey to theft or deception.

Any fraud that diverts resources away from the frontline defence of the UK is damaging, potentially dangerous and, if not detected, costly. The taxpayer rightly expects the MOD to use its money effectively, and our Armed Services deserve the best equipment and support.

The end result of undetected fraud is a weakening of the UK's defence capacity, and a threat to our servicemen and women, and cannot be tolerated.

MDP's Fraud Squad stands behind and supports the procurement officers who oversee the thousands of contractors, large and small, who supply goods and services to the MOD.

The squad also works closely with the MOD Defence Fraud Analysis Unit (DFAU) in delivering fraud awareness and prevention advice across the MOD.

The squad runs an annual course for MDP, Home Office police officers and service police - one of only four forces in the country able to deliver this nationally accredited fraud training.
