What is the new police centre?

The National Roads Policing Coordination Centre is a new government-funded body designed to bring police forces across England together. Its main goal is to tackle illegal number plates, aiming to disrupt organised crime and drivers who try to avoid fines. This centralisation helps forces share resources and intelligence more effectively.
