National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership (NVCRP)
What is the NVCRP?
The National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership (NVCRP) is a national collaboration dedicated to reducing vehicle-related crime and its impact on individuals, businesses, and the wider UK economy.
As vehicle crime evolves and becomes more organised, the NVCRP provides a unified and coordinated response, bringing together policing, government, manufacturers, and industry experts to tackle this growing issue.
The partnership focuses on enhancing intelligence sharing, developing innovative strategies to disrupt criminal activity, and strengthening prevention measures across all sectors.
What does the NVCRP do?
The NVCRP’s mission is to reduce organised vehicle crime and its associated harm through collaboration, intelligence, and coordinated action.
Collaborating across sectors: uniting police forces, government bodies, vehicle manufacturers, and industry experts to address vehicle crime collectively.
Enhancing information sharing: promoting intelligence and data exchange to identify emerging threats and respond effectively.
Coordinating efforts nationally: developing and implementing targeted strategies to dismantle organised criminal networks.
Supporting the UK economy: reducing the cost and disruption caused by vehicle crime, making communities and businesses safer and more resilient.
By creating a unified front, the NVCRP ensures an efficient, intelligence-led approach to tackling vehicle crime across the country.

The NVCRP Strategy
Launched in 2025, the three-year national vehicle crime strategy is designed to transform how the UK tackles organised vehicle crime. At the heart of the strategy is the creation of a dedicated, cross-border investigative capability to identify, prosecute, and disrupt the highest-harm offenders.
Working in partnership with the National Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (NaVCIS) and OPAL, the national acquisitive crime unit, the NVCRP will focus on intelligence sharing, specialist skills, and legislative reform to deliver lasting impact.
Five Core Aims
The strategy is built around five priorities:
- Enhancing intelligence capabilities to build a truly national picture of the threat.
- Establishing an Organised Vehicle Crime Investigation capability dedicated to tackling the most dangerous OCGs.
- Improving resilience at UK ports, where stolen vehicles often leave the country within hours.
- Driving research, development, and training so policing stays ahead of criminals’ evolving methods.
- Raising awareness of organised vehicle crime and the preventative measures businesses and the public can take.
