Employ dedicated intelligence-sharing protocols and joint task forces against organised drone and phone gangs

Recommendation
While current partnerships with police and the National Crime Agency aimed at tackling drone incursions are positive, they are not sufficient. The MoJ and HMPPS must employ dedicated intelligence-sharing protocols and joint task forces to specifically target the organised criminal gangs behind drone-related activity and the flow of illicit mobile phones. This includes tracking electronic financial transactions and supply chains. (Recommendation, Paragraph 104)
