Review/Promote 2 - NPIA

• National Strategic Assessments (NSA) are
  produced on behalf of the Association of Chief
  Police Officers (ACPO).  It provides an
  assessment of current, emerging and long-term
  crime and crime-related issues that impact on
  policing in the UK.  It is based on the findings
  of force assessments, together with research and
  analysis of other Governmental publications and
  statistics, academic research and other open
  source information.  The NSA is published
  annually in April, with an update report
  published in October, focusing on emerging
  issues.
• Business crime is now one of the sections
  included in the NSA.
• The findings of this National Mapping Exercise
  will now inform the 2010 NSA to be published in
  April 2010.
