What's new

Thanks to the hard work undertaken by the Independent Advisory Group and Trident, and the conscientious help provided by members of the community, more criminals are behind bars and more families can expect to see justice.

Trident successes

Trident not only target criminals for gun crime. Detectives will look to prosecute criminals for any crimes they are involved in, often taking away criminals money and assets, using the Proceeds of Crime Act.

How has Trident achieved this?

Trident's success over the last year has been achieved by proactively targeting gunmen, drug dealers linked to gun crime and gun suppliers. Trident has also worked very closely with the Independent Advisory Group and of course, the community in general. The willingness of members of the community to come forward has played a major part in helping Trident solve more murders than ever before.

Our continued success depends on your help.
