About the team

The Domestic Corruption Unit (DCU), serves as the national coordinating function for domestic bribery and corruption in support of His Majesty's Government's Anti-Corruption Strategy. The unit receives and assesses referrals from police forces, public sector organisations, partner agencies, and private industry, undertaking triage and development work to determine investigative viability, threat, risk, and harm. Where appropriate, the DCU either conducts investigations directly or supports the allocation of matters to local forces, regional organised crime units, or other partner agencies, while providing ongoing specialist advice and oversight.

In addition to its investigative role, the DCU works closely with national partners, including the Joint Anti-Corruption Unit (JACU) and the National Economic Crime Centre (NECC), to improve understanding of the domestic corruption threat and identify systemic vulnerabilities. The unit also has a strong focus on prevention and disruption, using intelligence and insight to identify emerging risks, strengthen institutional integrity, and support improvements in policy, practice, and capability across policing and partner organisations, thereby enhancing the UK's overall response to domestic bribery and corruption.
