Ashley Jones is the Regional Fraud Protect Advisor, representing the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit (SWROCU) which is a Home Office funded, Law Enforcement body serving all the police force areas of the South West of England.

Ashley's  role is to undertake activity that reduces economic crime (fraud), through improving awareness and promoting preventative measures with individuals and organisations, to enable them to better protect themselves from economic crime.

FRAUD

Fraud makes up approximately a third of all reported crime and between 2016-17 around 3.4 million frauds were reported in the UK, with a loss to individuals of around £7-billion in total. Frauds against individuals are frequently targeted at elderly and vulnerable citizens, for whom the consequences of victimisation can be devastating, both psychologically, as well as financially. However, as much as 80% of fraud is preventable with relatively simple safety measures that can employed to protect us from the scammers that we may encounter on a daily basis.
