Avon and Somerset Constabulary is committed to a partnership approach to prevent and reduce fraud. Fraud affects both the public and private sectors, small and large, wresting up to £12 billion a year from its rightful owners. It is essential to have sound fraud prevention measures in place and to combine our resources in ways which will multiply their effectiveness.
