Inside Environmental Crime Community Day 2025

Earlier this month, we were proud to support an Environmental Crime Community Day, which brought together member agencies of the DEFRA group to share insight, strengthen collaboration, and explore new ways of tackling environmental crime.

The discussions reflected the growing complexity of this space. Attendees highlighted how environmental offences are increasingly linked to organised crime, with new threats emerging that demand joined-up, intelligence-led responses. Conversations also focused on practical ways to improve casework – from cutting down administrative burden and strengthening data quality, to finding better approaches to intelligence sharing across agencies.

What made the day especially valuable was the opportunity for investigators and intelligence professionals to come together in person. By sharing real-world experiences and best practice, agencies were able to take away actionable insights to strengthen their work, while identifying opportunities for closer collaboration in the future.

Events like Environmental Crime Community Day are part of a broader commitment to supporting investigators – alongside our virtual knowledge-sharing sessions and our dedicated online networking platform, Clue Connect. Together, these forums ensure that our users are not only equipped with the best tools, but also part of a thriving community of practice driving investigations forward.
